Sous Chef

The Role

You'll work directly with the Executive Chef to run the kitchen and support the staff. This isn't a position where you just follow orders ; you're expected to manage and mentor the team while bringing strong culinary skills to every plate. When the Executive Chef isn't there, you're the one making sure the planned menu gets executed properly. That means every meal served to residents and guests meets standards for portion, doneness, freshness, and presentation.

• Supervise all kitchen team members, making sure they follow recipes and procedures

• Present yourself professionally to keep residents satisfied with their dining experience

• ServSafe certification, Food Handlers certification, or enrollment in one of those courses ; preferred but not required
