Job Description

Job Description

We are Electric Shuffle! The award-winning global social entertainment concept that has taken a lightning rod to shuffleboard. We’ve paired our patented gameplay with delicious food and craft cocktails, a beautiful venue design, and an incredible high-energy atmosphere to deliver an unforgettable experience.

WHAT IS THE ROLE?

As a Sous Chef, you will be responsible for ensuring we are delivering amazing food to our guests and running a best-in-class kitchen with a rockstar team. This role offers the opportunity to become part of an exciting brand in the social entertainment space with tremendous growth opportunities.

Our ideal candidate is a people-first leader who cares about delivering an amazing experience for both our guests and team. We are looking for someone who has a breadth of experience in the heart of the house. We want a systems focused leader who is looking to join an amazing brand and fast-growing company, challenge the status quo, and create unforgettable happiness for our guests.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

This role will have five (5) main areas of responsibilities:

1.  Be a Coach and Teammate:  We are only as good as the team around us. As a leader of the venue, you will be responsible for building and developing your kitchen team to be the best versions of themselves.

2.  Deliver Amazing Food to our Guests:  Our menu is foundational to our guests’ experience. As the Executive Sous Chef, you will be 2nd in command in ensuring every plate reaches our guests on-time and tastes amazing

3.  Embrace the Heart-of-the-House:  A good kitchen truly leads to success across the rest of the venue. As a leader in the heart-of-the-house, you are in charge of running a high-performing kitchen that executes to its highest potential

4.  Manage Kitchen Performance:  Venue performance is critical to long-term success. This goes beyond just financial success. For us, success means holistic achievement across every aspect of our business (e.g., team health, guest experience, brand value, financials). You will have responsibility for effectively managing kitchen performance and achieving defined goals each month.

5.  Create and Maintain a Safe and Clean Workplace:  Safety of our teammates, guests, and product is of the utmost importance to being a great workplace and successful business. You will be responsible for embodying and ensuring these standards on a daily basis in the kitchen

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR?

  • A proven leader with experience opening, operating, and overseeing kitchens
  • Demonstrated track record of driving business goals, delivering a positive guest and team experience, and creating a strong culture
  • Understanding of the necessary components of running a successful kitchen operation (e.g., food & beverage, labor, compliance, risk and safety, training, etc.)
  • An operator who is innovative, detailed-oriented, effective at prioritization, and most of all excited to take on an entrepreneurial role with a fast-growing company
  • Ability to understand data, financials, and analytics to develop key performance insights and opportunity areas
  • 1+ years of leadership level experience within a hospitality company
  • Front of House experience is a plus, but not essential
  • Learning and Development experience is a plus, but not essential

OUR VALUES

At the heart of everything we do lies our values, we are looking for people who want to be part of a team that lives by these every day:

  • Passionate: We are not like other workplaces – there is no need to hold back here. We are a full throttle, high energy, total commitment bunch, and we throw everything we have got into giving our guests the best time possible.
  • Together: We are a family. We work with each other and we support each other; we win together, and we lose together. That means honesty, commitment, and responsibility, from all of us.
  • Innovative: We are one step ahead because we are always looking to invent and improve. We are bold, creative, pioneering and fearless. Got an idea? Share it!
  • Warm: We are all about people. A fundamental part of our guests having fun is us being welcoming, hospitable and attentive. We hold the key to their experience!

OUR PROMISE TO YOU

When you join Electric Shuffle, you’re joining our Family. If you join us, we’ll always make sure you know how much we value your contribution and hard work. You’ll be paid competitively, with rewards offered throughout the year and you’ll be respected and treated fairly by everyone you work with. As we grow, we want you to grow too; we’ll invest in your training and developing to make sure you’re interested, challenged and always excited throughout your career with us.

At Electric Shuffle, we believe in creating equal opportunities for everyone. We do not discriminate in any way, shape or form.
