Sous Chef

Sous Chef

The Sous Chef reports directly to the Executive Chef and collaborates on menu planning and development, productivity, menu-cost controls and ordering processes to ensure production meets business levels. The Sous Chef must possess a strong culinary foundation and working knowledge of the techniques connected to the hotel's food and beverage concepts. You will be expected to work any station, mentor a team of culinarians and balance hands-on execution with leadership responsibilities. The ability to act as a soldier is as important as being a general. This role requires organization, consistent communication, humility and genuine care for both the food being created and the people responsible for executing it.

Your past experiences have led you to understand that there is an art + science to the how and what a hospitality operations professional is responsible for. You are committed to the Chef life and go through your day-to-day activities saying, "behind" and "hot" in your own home. Your cookbook collection is dog-eared and worn from use and has outgrown its boundaries on your shelves. Your days off are spent sharpening, obsessing over, or purchasing knives (your friends have become legitimately concerned about this, by the way). You are a mentor to your team and capable of working any station in your kitchen, but are hungry for the next step. You are an intrinsically motivated individual who finds their moment of Zen in a dining room filled with happy guests. You lead your team with a composed disposition and gentle correction, passing along your culinary acumen in the process. You have the utmost respect for the ingredients and the process: you strive to work directly with local farmers and artisans to obtain your ingredients at their height of freshness and peak of flavor. You have a strong culinary aptitude and are just beginning your journey to understanding the financial side of the business, and are eager to learn more.
