Sous Chef

Located in the vibrant heart of Downtown San Antonio, Texas, our establishment is an independent café and dinner concept deeply rooted in craft, creativity, and genuine hospitality. As a new player in the culinary scene, we are currently in the exciting phase of pre-opening development. This means we are diligently building our menu, assembling a talented team, and cultivating a unique identity from the ground up. Our café and dinner program embrace a chef-driven, foodie-focused philosophy that prioritizes quality, innovation, and a refined dining experience. We take every dish seriously, striving to deliver extraordinary flavors and exceptional service. Our approach seamlessly blends traditional culinary techniques with creative experimentation, ensuring each plate served resonates with authenticity and passion. We foster a collaborative environment that values input, encourages experimentation, and nurtures growth for all our team members. Part of our commitment is to engage with local and regional suppliers, sourcing the freshest ingredients to elevate our menu and support our community. Our identity centers on being approachable yet exciting, crafting a welcoming space for guests seeking memorable dining experiences in Downtown San Antonio.

The role we are offering is that of a Sous Chef, a vital leadership position within our kitchen team, designed for an individual eager to be part of an exciting new venture instead of simply maintaining an existing brand. This is a full-time position with a flexible schedule, offering competitive pay based on experience. As a pre-opening hire, the Sous Chef will work alongside our head chef and ownership team to help shape the culinary vision and operational systems before our doors officially open. You will play a pivotal role in menu tastings, dish development, and system creation, ensuring that every aspect of our kitchen runs efficiently and creatively. Once we open, you will serve as the second-in-command, responsible for overseeing dinner service execution, leading the kitchen line, training staff, and maintaining consistency and quality across all menu items.

This role demands a balance of creative passion and operational discipline. The ideal candidate must be comfortable ideating new dishes during tastings and skillfully managing the busy, multifaceted environment of dinner service. Responsibilities extend beyond food preparation to include establishing prep systems, recipe documentation, and sourcing local ingredients. Leadership qualities are essential, as this role involves mentoring, coaching, and developing team members to ensure smooth kitchen operations. We value a clean, organized working style, reliability, professionalism, and a genuine passion for building a culinary concept from scratch. As part of our team, you will experience the rewards of contributing to something special and being part of a close-knit, dynamic group committed to excellence and innovation in hospitality.
