Job Description

Sous Chef | Upscale High-Volume Dining

Since opening our doors at the end of 2025, our James Beard-nominated restaurant group has hit the ground running in Virginia Beach. We are actively seeking a talented Sous Chef to join our thriving 250-seat upscale restaurant. This is an opportunity to execute an elevated scratch menu at serious scale alongside a high-performing team.

High-Volume Upscale Restaurant | Virginia Beach, VA | Full-Time Compensation: $60–80K + Bonus | Medical • Dental • Vision • PTO

Join the leadership team of one of Virginia Beach’s busiest kitchens. As a Sous Chef, you will run a station crew, keep mise tight, and ensure operational standards and plate perfection during high-volume service.

Your day-to-day:

  • Lead the line during service—call tickets, keep plating flawless, and maintain momentum through multiple turns.
  • Supervise prep—protein fabrication, marinades, sauces, and pantry work—ensuring yields and specs are spot-on.
  • Write detailed station prep lists, train new cooks, and monitor waste vs. par.
  • Assist with weekly inventory and uphold safety, sanitation, and allergen standards without compromise.

Ideal profile:

  • 1–2 years of salaried kitchen leadership in a high-volume, upscale casual, or fine dining environment.
  • Solid knife skills; comfortable portioning primals, seafood, and produce for a 250-seat house.
  • Familiar with wood-fire or high-heat cooking techniques (preferred, not required).
  • Team-first mindset with a proven track record of mentoring high-performing teams.
