THE OPTIMIST SOUS CHEF - UP TO $70K/yr. + BONUS (Germantown)

$70k
Full-time

Optimist Nashville

At Rocket Farm Restaurants, the core philosophy that defines our culture is âWe serve the person who is serving the guest.â Our culture is not something we act out on the floor of the restaurant. It starts with how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen â with dignity, respect, and care. We believe there should be no difference in how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen and how we treat and serve our guests in the dining room. We hope you agree and will consider joining us!

The Optimist brings a menu of casual, wood-fired fare to Nashvilleâs Germantown neighborhood, transporting landlocked Tennesseans coast side to experience fresh, sustainably sourced seafood.

The Optimist is looking for an enthusiastic Sous Chef to come aboard!  

The Sous Chef manages the hourly, back-of-house staff and assists in the day-to-day operations of all areas of the kitchen including production, prep, special and private events, stewarding, purchasing and receiving. He/she will have a strong understanding and knowledge of various cooking methods and preparation techniques, ensuring all food is properly prepared and presented to guests in a timely manner. The Sous Chef will be able to effectively and professionally lead the kitchen in the absence of the Executive Chef. The ideal candidate is a natural leader with the drive and ability to maintain a cohesive team, while efficiently delegating and working calmly under pressure. 3-years of progressive culinary experience preferred, one of which in a Lead Cook or Sous Chef position. Apply today and become part of a dynamic, innovative, and heartfelt group of unique individuals!

Competitive salary: $55,000 â $70,000/yr. DOE + generous quarterly bonus program

Full benefit eligibility after 30-days of employment:

Major Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance
