$60-70k + Benefits + Advancement Potential

About Us

We’re a chef-driven, upscale casual restaurant group known for seasonal menus, scratch kitchens, and hospitality that actually means something. Our teams are tight, creative, and serious about doing things the right way — from butchering to guest experience. If you’re passionate about food and leadership, you’ll fit right in.

The Role

We’re hiring a Sous Chef for our Wilmington, DE location. You’ll run service, develop the team, and help drive menu execution and innovation alongside the Executive Chef. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role with direct impact on the food, the culture, and the numbers.

What You’ll Do

Lead daily kitchen operations, line execution, and service for lunch + dinner
Train, coach, and inspire a team of 10-15 cooks in a scratch, high-volume environment
Own inventory, ordering, and cost controls with the Chef — know your food cost and waste
Contribute to menu development, specials, and seasonal R&D
Uphold exceptional standards for cleanliness, safety, and consistency
Jump in wherever needed — we’re all hands on deck during service

What You’ll Bring

2+ years as a Sous Chef or 3+ years as a strong Lead Line Cook in full-service, from-scratch kitchens
Solid knife skills, sense of urgency, and ability to stay calm under fire
Working knowledge of inventory, ordering, and labor management
ServSafe certification preferred; passion for hospitality required
Nights, weekends, and holidays — it’s restaurants, but we protect work-life balance where we can

What We Offer

Salary: $60-70k based on experience
Benefits: Health, dental, vision, PTO, and meal perks
Growth: Real advancement potential — we promote from within
Culture: Supportive leadership, creative freedom on specials, and a team that has your back
