Job Description
Sous Chef
Upscale High Volume Restaurant | Palm Beach Area
This is for a chef who thrives in the rhythm of a busy, polished kitchen and wants to be part of something that runs with purpose, precision, and pride.
We are working with a highly regarded upscale restaurant operating at true scale. This kitchen executes 300 to 400 covers a night with consistency, discipline, and standards that do not bend when the volume hits. The food is refined, technique driven, and guest focused. The pace is real. The expectations are clear.
If you are the type of Sous Chef who wants responsibility, growth, and trust instead of micromanagement, this is worth a closer look.
You will work alongside an established Chef de Cuisine and leadership team to help run daily execution, lead and develop cooks, and maintain consistency during high volume service. This is a hands on leadership role where you are expected to cook, coach, and problem solve in real time.
This kitchen values chefs who can stay calm under pressure, hold standards without ego, and understand how to lead people in a demanding environment.
What We Are Looking For
- Proven experience in upscale, high volume restaurants
- Comfort operating in kitchens doing seven to eight million dollars or more in annual sales
- Strong fundamentals and technical discipline
- A leadership style that earns respect, not fear
- Long term mindset with a desire to grow inside a brand, not bounce between kitchens
- Restaurant background preferred over resort or club environments due to volume and pace
While certain fine dining pedigrees are helpful, the priority is volume, consistency, and cultural fit. This team values chefs who show up prepared, hungry to learn, and committed to the long game.
What Is Offered
- Salary range of seventy five to eighty thousand
- Medical, dental, and vision benefits
- A stable kitchen with clear systems and expectations
- Opportunity to grow with a respected, performance driven operation
- Leadership that values professionalism and development
Interview Process
The process is efficient and respectful of your time. It includes an initial conversation, a meeting with the Chef de Cuisine either virtually or in person, a kitchen walkthrough, and a tasting.
If you are a Sous Chef who wants to be challenged, sharpen your craft, and be part of a serious restaurant team, this is a strong opportunity to explore.
