The Sous Chef position is based within the Food & Beverage Department and reports directly to the Director of Food & Beverage. This role is a salaried, exempt position that is integral to the culinary operations of our venues. The Sous Chef plays an essential leadership role in overseeing kitchen functions, especially in the absence of the Executive Chef, ensuring smooth, efficient, and high-quality food production for large-scale banquet events. This position involves managing the ordering, receiving, and preparation of food items in compliance with banquet event orders, while also maintaining strict budgetary controls and food costs.

The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining all kitchen equipment, ensuring cleanliness and adherence to health and safety standards, including a Health Department score of 90 or higher. Training and mentoring kitchen and stewarding staff on safety regulations, including Serve-Safe certification requirements, is a critical component of this role, alongside enforcing local health department codes. Active participation in local hospitality communities and professional associations is encouraged to stay current with industry trends and standards. Additionally, the Sous Chef will attend event-related meetings to relay crucial operational changes and manage inventory controls with precision.

Candidates for this role should demonstrate advanced communication skills, a strong customer service orientation, and the ability to collaborate effectively with various departments to meet strategic goals. Organizational and planning skills, coupled with creativity in food presentation and maintaining consistent quality, are essential. The ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and proficient computer skills, including knowledge of Excel, will contribute to the candidate’s success in this position. Overall, the Sous Chef position offers a competitive salary commensurate with experience, complemented by a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, paid vacation, and a 401(k) plan. This role requires flexibility regarding working hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays, with physical demands such as walking, stooping, lifting up to 30 pounds, and standing for extended periods. If you are ready to take on a challenging and rewarding culinary leadership role in a global organization committed to excellence and innovation, consider joining Legends & ASM Global as our next Sous Chef.
