Sous Chef

Our busy Italian-inspired restaurant highlights seasonal flavors and rustic yet refined cuisine. We are seeking a talented, passionate, and experienced Sous Chef. Ideal candidates will possess strong experience in Italian Cuisine and a background working in busy full-service operations at a nationally acclaimed level. We are looking for candidates with at least 1 year of experience as a Sous Chef or Tournant and at least 3 years of experience as a cook in notable restaurants. Formal culinary training is favorable but significant experience in notable kitchens may be equally weighed. Candidates must be comfortable with all aspects of running a kitchen including active cooking during service, expediting, recipe creation, kitchen management, ordering/inventory, and administration. 

As part of a small NYC-based restaurant group, our eighteen-year-old restaurant has become a favorite for featuring Italian-inspired seasonal cuisine, showcasing bold flavors and craveable comforting classics. We hope to find a passionate, talented, and organized sous chef who will be equally as excited to create new dishes as to ensure consistency of the existing concept. We operate for dinner seven days a week (averaging 250-300 covers), and brunch on Sunday. The sous chef is expected to work a combination of day and evening shifts to fully engage in daily prep and operations.

Leadership, teamwork and care are key values of our management philosophy. As a member of our management team, the Sous Chef is expected to cultivate a positive work environment and foster teamwork at all times. Candidates should be prepared to lead by example with an admirable work ethic as well as a caring demeanor for all members of the team. Strong communication and organizational skills will be needed to foster a cooperative relationship with FOH team in an open kitchen environment and maximize staff retention.  

Qualified candidates should have:
- At least one year experience as a sous chef or tournant, and/or 3+ years as line cook in notable restaurant kitchens
- A passion for food and Italian cuisine as well as a dedication to freshness and seasonality
- NYC food handlers license
- Strong organizational and communication skills
- Ability to lead and adapt in a dynamic and fast-paced environment  
- Attention to detail and exceptional work ethic
- Excitement to learn, create, grow, and inspire others

We offer competitive salary, bonus incentives, health and dental benefits, paid time off, dining benefits and ongoing growth opportunity. We strive to promote a healthy work/life balance.

Please submit a resume for consideration.
