Sous Chef — Maeve's Tavern (Collierville, TN)

Full-time, salaried | Salary based on experience

Maeve's Tavern is a neighborhood tavern in Collierville and part of Brazen Restaurant Group, a locally owned company that also operates Bog & Barley and Celtic Crossing in Memphis. We're expanding, and we're looking for a Sous Chef who takes the craft seriously, runs a clean and calm line, and wants to grow with us as we do.

The role

You'll work directly with the Executive Chef to run day-to-day kitchen operations: leading the line during service, developing cooks, contributing to menu design, and keeping ordering, inventory, and sanitation tight. You're part of the management team, which means you help make decisions, support them once they're made, and present a united front to the staff.

Beyond the day-to-day, Maeve's also offers catering packages for pick-up. Catering experience is a real plus here. If you've prepped, portioned, packed, and timed large orders alongside a busy service, we want to hear about it.

What you'll do

Own food quality and consistency on every plate that leaves the kitchen

Run service in the Executive Chef's absence and supervise every back-of-house station

Train, schedule, and coach cooks and dish staff; identify skill gaps and close them

Assist with ordering, inventory, cost control, and equipment needs

Contribute to menu development, specials, and catering menus

Help plan, prep, and execute pick-up catering orders alongside regular service

Hold the line on safety, sanitation, and health department standards, including preventative maintenance and equipment care

Write and enforce kitchen policies and procedures with the rest of the management team

What we're looking for

Required

1+ years in a high-volume restaurant kitchen; 2+ years or prior sous chef/lead experience preferred

Strong technical cooking skills and the ability to work any station

Proven ability to train and lead a BOH team with respect and accountability

Working knowledge of health code, food handling, and storage procedures (ServSafe Manager certification a plus, or willingness to obtain)

Comfortable with basic kitchen math, inventory, and POS/ordering software

Flexible availability including nights, weekends, and holidays

A plus

Catering or large-order/event prep experience

Experience contributing to menu design and costing

Multi-unit or opening experience

What you get

Competitive salary based on experience

Health benefits

Paid time off

401(k) with company matching

Meal discount

Real growth path in a company that's expanding

A management team that backs its people and does things the right way
