Job description:
Executive Sous Chef – Austin, TX | Aba
$70,000–$80,000/year | Full-Time | Exempt
Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants is growing Aba, our acclaimed Mediterranean concept, in Dallas, TX. Join a high-volume kitchen backed by one of the country's most respected restaurant groups.
We're hiring a Executive Sous Chef to run the line and lead a back-of-house team that doesn't cut corners. This is a hands-on leadership role for a cook who's ready to own a shift, not just work one.
What You'll Do
- Run BOH shifts and oversee the line during service, ensuring food quality, presentation, and timing hit the mark
- Lead pre-shift meetings, line checks, temp checks, and cooler checks
- Partner with the GM and chef team to build prep lists and assign production duties
- Purchase and order food product and supplies; help track and control food cost
- Interview, hire, train, coach, and develop BOH team members
- Ensure sanitation, safety, and food allergy procedures are followed to the letter
- Close down the kitchen — breaking down the line, closing coolers and employee areas
What You Bring
- Minimum 3 years of salaried leadership experience in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
- Upscale restaurant background preferred over fast casual or casual concepts
- A team-first attitude and the ability to multitask calmly under pressure
- Ability to stand/walk a full shift and lift up to 50 lbs
- Availability for early mornings, late nights, and weekends
Please note: this role is a fit for candidates coming from upscale, full-service restaurants only — experience from fast casual/casual concepts, cafeterias, country clubs, nursing homes, schools, or contract kitchens will not transfer to this environment.
A note on growth: this is a high-volume, high-standards kitchen. It's the right move for a cook ready to level up — not for someone looking for an immediate jump to Executive Chef.
