Sous Chef

$65k - $75k

Goodwin Recruiting

We are hiring a Sous Chef for a high-volume, upscale steakhouse with a strong reputation for quality, consistency, and service. This is a hands-on leadership role in a structured, performance-driven kitchen where attention to detail and execution matter.

  • Manage food cost, portion control, and waste reduction
  • Ensure compliance with sanitation and food safety standards
  • Assist with scheduling and labor management
  • Support menu execution and recipe adherence
  • Step into kitchen leadership when needed

Qualifications:

  • 2+ years of Sous Chef or strong kitchen leadership experience with loyalty proven by 2 year plus tenures with each previous employer
  • Background in upscale casual or fine dining, high-volume environments
  • Experience in scratch kitchens with strong attention to detail
  • Hands-on leadership style, not a “clipboard” manager
  • Strong work ethic, accountability, and pride in performance
  • Understanding of food cost, labor, inventory, and kitchen systems

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: $65,000–$75,000
  • Bonus opportunity
