With a commitment to ethical work practices and a supportive atmosphere, they cultivate a workplace that encourages personal and professional growth. Their dedication to maintaining consistency and quality in their food and service sets them apart in the competitive restaurant scene of Atlanta.

The role of Sous Chef at Superica is a significant leadership position within the back-of-house team. As a key player in the day-to-day operations, the Sous Chef is responsible for managing hourly kitchen staff, including line cooks and prep teams, to ensure all menu items are prepared with consistency and excellence. This role requires a hands-on leader who can inspire and motivate a team while maintaining calm under pressure, especially in the absence of the Executive Chef. The position offers a competitive salary from $55,000 to $70,000 annually, based on experience, plus a generous quarterly bonus program. Additionally, full benefits eligibility is provided after just 30 days of employment, including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, reflecting Superica's commitment to the well-being of its team members.

As Sous Chef, the candidate will oversee all kitchen operations including production, stewarding, purchasing, and receiving. Training and developing kitchen staff to match Superica's standards is essential, ensuring every dish served is a seamless reflection of the restaurant’s commitment to quality and service. Superica's work environment fosters a supportive culture and provides dynamic performance-based raises and promotional opportunities, encouraging career advancement. The role also comes with generous paid time off, including childbirth recovery and parental leave, major holidays off, and significant long-term retention bonuses, all designed to support a healthy work-life balance.

The company also invests in its employees through Rocket Farm University, offering specialized leadership classes and personalized career development support. Further employee engagement is encouraged via mentorship programs, an advisory council, and a safety committee to promote an inclusive and responsive workplace. This commitment to employee success and satisfaction makes Superica an excellent choice for culinary professionals seeking a meaningful and rewarding career. This position is ideal for a seasoned culinary professional with at least 3 years of progressive experience, including leadership in a similar role, who is ready to contribute to a collaborative and thriving kitchen culture.
