Salary: $68,000–$72,000

Are you a passionate chef who loves leading from the front, developing people, and creating memorable dining experiences? River Roast is looking for an energetic and hands-on Sous Chef to join our culinary leadership team.

Located along the Chicago River, River Roast offers more than an incredible setting. We are proud to provide a positive, collaborative, and high-energy work environment where teamwork, creativity, accountability, and professional growth are encouraged every day.

Working closely with the Executive Chef, the Sous Chef will help lead daily kitchen operations, mentor our culinary team, and ensure every dish reflects the quality and hospitality River Roast is known for. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys cooking, coaching others, and being part of a fast-paced, chef-driven restaurant.

Maintain consistency, quality, presentation, and attention to detail.
Assist with menu development, seasonal features, and recipe execution.
Support food ordering, inventory, scheduling, and food-cost management.
Maintain a clean, organized, and food-safe kitchen.
Collaborate closely with front-of-house leadership to create an exceptional guest experience.
Support banquets, private events, and catering operations.
Help build a culture of accountability, communication, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

What We’re Looking For

A genuine passion for cooking, hospitality, and developing others.
Experience in a high-volume, scratch-kitchen environment.
A positive and motivating leadership style.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to perform under pressure.
Professionalism, reliability, and respect for every team member.
Availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays based on business needs.

Why Join River Roast?

At River Roast, we believe that a great guest experience begins with a great team. You will join a supportive work environment where your ideas are valued, your leadership can make an immediate impact, and you will have opportunities to learn, grow, and advance within Levy.

If you take pride in your craft, enjoy mentoring a talented culinary team, and want to be part of one of Chicago’s premier riverfront restaurants, we would love to meet you.

Come grow with us and help create something exceptional at River Roast.

Salario: $68,000–$72,000
