Full-time

Private Listing

Our mission is to serve the best authentic Peruvian food and beverages in a
fun and comfortable environment with service that is genuine, attentive, and knowledgeable. We
believe in treating our guests, staff and suppliers with respect and dignity. By meeting these
objectives, we will succeed in efficient and profitable operations.

Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced, bilingual Sous Chef for Events & Banquets to lead our event
kitchen operations, overseeing everything from prep and main kitchen execution to cold kitchen
and pastry stations. This role is responsible for driving exceptional food quality and meticulous
presentation for private buyouts, corporate events, and high-volume catering.

As an essential leader in our BOH team, you will collaborate with the Executive Chef and
General Manager to manage labor and food costs, build weekly schedules based on event

Key Responsibilities
● Culinary Leadership: Lead, coach, and guide event cooks using elite culinary habits and
techniques. Ensure stations are fully prepped and organized for every service window.
● Quality Assurance: Approve quality standards (temperature, allergens, flavor, and
presentation) for all dishes leaving the event kitchen to maintain Acurio International
standards.
● Financial & Admin Controls: Monitor and control food and labor cost goals. Manage
inventory, place precise product orders according to forecasts, and utilize systems like
Restaurant365 and Toast POS.

● Compliance & Safety: Maintain strict sanitation and food handling standards to meet
ServSafe and Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) regulations.
● Team Development: Build a safe, respectful workplace, providing open dialogue, team
line-ups, coaching, and consistent feedback.
Qualifications
● 4 to 6 years of related culinary management experience, with a strong emphasis on
high-volume banquets, hotels, or premium event catering.
● High school diploma or GED equivalent.
● Strong operational business acumen: ability to calculate food costs, scale large-volume
recipes, and analyze labor metrics.
● Valid Illinois Food Service Sanitation Manager Certification (FSSMC).
● Bilingual English/Spanish preferred.

La misión de nosotros es servir la mejor y más auténtica comida y bebida peruana
en un ambiente divertido y cómodo, con un servicio genuino, atento y conocedor. Creemos en

Como líder esencial de nuestro equipo BOH (Back of House), colaborará con el Chef Ejecutivo

presentación) de todos los platos que salen de la cocina de eventos para mantener los
estándares de Acurio International.
● Controles Financieros y Administrativos: Monitorear y controlar las metas de costos
de alimentos y mano de obra. Administrar el inventario, realizar pedidos precisos de

● Cumplimiento y Seguridad: Mantener estrictos estándares de higiene y manejo de
alimentos para cumplir con las regulaciones de ServSafe y el Departamento de Salud
