Sous Chef

Job Overview

La Grange in Yardley, PA is looking for a new AM Sous Chef. We are a (young) high-volume French-inspired steakhouse.

• Position Title: AM Sous Chef
• Employment Type: Full-Time/42-45 hours
• Schedule: Hours are fairly rigid – generally 9/9:30am – 5/5:30pm – days off would be Wednesday/Thursday
• Compensation: $58k/year (merit-based raises are available for the future)
• Reports To: Head Chef/General Manager in Chef’s absence

Key Responsibilities and Duties

• Morning Line Check: Inspect ingredients and inventory before service, ensuring proper rotation, dating, and labeling.
• ORGANIZATION: This cannot be stressed enough: stuff’s got to stay organized! We are a high-volume kitchen with a lot of prep and items to manage. It’s imperative that you respect the organization of the walk-in and freezer.
