  • Executive Sous Chef or strong Senior Sous Chef experience preferred
  • Strong culinary technique and attention to detail
  • Proven ability to lead and develop a large culinary team
  • Solid understanding of food cost, labor management, and kitchen operations
  • Hands-on, team-first leadership style
  • Strong communication and organizational skills

What's Offered

  • Salary up to $85,000
  • Bonus potential
  • Medical and dental coverage
  • 401(k) plan
  • Paid time off
