Sous Chef

Culinaire Staffing

Sous Chef Opportunity

Are you a passionate, high-energy culinary professional looking to make your mark in a legendary local establishment? We are seeking a talented Sous Chef to join a tight-knit kitchen family in beautiful, historic Nevada City.

Known for our exceptional steaks, fresh seafood, and a lively atmosphere featuring nightly live music from local musicians, we pride ourselves on being a cornerstone of the community. If you thrive in a high-volume, dynamic environment where teamwork and culinary excellence take center stage, then you should be in this kitchen!

The Role

As the Sous Chef, you will be a vital pillar of our kitchen family. You will work side by side with the Executive Chef to lead, inspire, and manage our culinary team, ensuring every plate that leaves the kitchen meets our legendary standards.

Key Responsibilities
  • Team Leadership: Actively manage, mentor, and motivate the kitchen crew, fostering a positive, collaborative, and family-oriented work culture.

  • Culinary Excellence: Uphold the highest standards of food quality, presentation, and consistency for our premium steak and seafood menus.

  • Kitchen Operations: Assist the Executive Chef in daily operations, including inventory control, prep management, ordering, and maintaining strict safety and sanitation standards.

  • Line Management: Lead by example on the line during busy dinner rushes, maintaining a cool head and high energy while the restaurant rocks to live nightly music.

What We Are Looking For
  • Experience: Proven experience as a Sous Chef or strong Lead Cook in a high-volume, full-service restaurant. Experience in executing fine steaks and fresh seafood is highly preferred.

  • Leadership Style: A natural leader who prioritizes teamwork, clear communication, and accountability—someone who treats the kitchen staff like family.

  • Skills: Strong knife skills, expert line cooking abilities, and a deep understanding of kitchen financials (food cost, labor control) and safety protocols.

  • Vibe: Someone who loves the unique energy of a bustling restaurant paired with live entertainment and is excited to be a visible, respected leader in our community.

The Perks
  • Competitive hourly rate based on experience.

  • A supportive, family-centric ownership and management team.

  • The chance to work in a vibrant, music-filled environment in the heart of Nevada City.
