Job Description

The Club at Forest Ridge is a distinguished semi-private country club located in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Established in 1989 and designed by renowned Oklahoma native Randy Heckenkemper, this club has grown to become a cherished centerpiece of the Forest Ridge community. With two elegant clubhouses, a meticulously maintained golf course, and exclusive amenities often reserved for private clubs, Forest Ridge offers a refined and welcoming environment for its members. Its upscale restaurant and bar provide a premium experience curated to complement its premier services, delivering exceptional quality and comfort in a beautiful setting.

Managed by Bobby Jones Links, a respected club management and development company based in Atlanta, Georgia, the Club at Forest Ridge benefits from decades of expertise in catering to private, resort, daily fee, and public golf courses. Founded in 2000, Bobby Jones Links emphasizes a commitment to outstanding service, striving to create memorable experiences for members, guests, and employees alike. The company's philosophy embodies core values such as making people happy, keeping promises, striving for excellence, being driven, and fostering continuous growth. This cultural foundation elevates the way Forest Ridge operates, reflecting the high standards set forth by Bobby Jones himself, who famously said, “The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.” This pursuit of excellence permeates everything from club operations to guest experiences.

The Club at Forest Ridge is currently seeking a dedicated Sous Chef to oversee the food and beverage operations of the Ridge Club Bistro. This is an excellent full-time opportunity for culinary professionals passionate about food quality, kitchen management, and guest satisfaction. The Sous Chef plays a pivotal role in maintaining the club’s reputation for exceptional dining by managing kitchen operations, ensuring consistency in food taste and presentation, and supporting the culinary team. This role involves close collaboration with the front of the house service team to guarantee quick and efficient ticket times and excellent customer service.

The Sous Chef's responsibilities include overseeing kitchen inventory, measuring ingredients accurately, developing food and beverage promotions alongside the Executive Chef, and maintaining safe work and food handling practices. Leadership and communication skills are essential, as the Sous Chef is also responsible for mentoring junior kitchen staff and ensuring they are well-informed about menu items. Proficiency with point of sale systems, Excel, and Word is necessary to manage ordering, inventory, and sales effectively.

Working at the Club at Forest Ridge means being part of a vibrant, service-driven environment where teamwork and excellence are paramount. The physical demands of the position require stamina and strength to manage extended periods of standing, walking, lifting, and handling kitchen equipment safely.
