Job Description

Rocket Farm Restaurants is a renowned hospitality group that emphasizes a culture centered on respect, dignity, and care among its team members, following the philosophy, "We serve the person who is serving the guest." This core value moves beyond just the guest-facing side of the business and deeply influences the way the kitchens and internal teams collaborate and support each other. Rocket Farm Restaurants operates multiple establishments across several cities including Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Houston, Raleigh, and Winter Park, creating a diverse yet unified experience rooted in exceptional service and culinary excellence.

One of its signature restaurants, Superica Nashville, brings a unique blend of Old-West inspired ambiance paired with vibrant Mexican cuisine. The restaurant serves guests throughout the day with brunch, lunch, and dinner dedicated to delivering an exciting yet relaxed dining experience enriched by refreshing margaritas and a warm atmosphere. Superica Nashville is currently seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Sous Chef to join their back-of-house team and support their dynamic kitchen operations.

The Sous Chef role at Superica Nashville is critical in ensuring a smooth culinary operation by managing hourly kitchen staff and overseeing essential functions such as food production, preparation, stewarding, purchasing, and receiving. This position requires a hands-on leader who can not only maintain quality and consistency in the kitchen by training line cooks on proper ingredient handling and recipe adherence, but also step in as the acting head of the kitchen in the Executive Chef’s absence. The ideal candidate brings at least three years of progressive culinary experience, including time in a lead cook or Sous Chef capacity, and possesses the natural leadership skills needed to inspire and maintain team cohesion while managing the fast-paced and often high-pressure environment of a busy kitchen.

In this role, the Sous Chef will proactively address challenges, solve problems positively, and help maintain the operational standards that make Superica a beloved dining destination. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a supportive and innovative team that values ethical work practices and encourages personal growth and career advancement. Candidates chosen for this role will benefit from competitive compensation ranging from $55,000 to $70,000 annually, based on experience, plus a generous quarterly bonus program. Additionally, new hires become eligible for full benefits after just 30 days, which include major medical insurance, dental coverage, vision care, and life insurance plans.

Working at Rocket Farm Restaurants offers more than a paycheck. Staff enjoy a supportive culture that prioritizes work-life balance with paid time off, parental leave, and specified holidays off including Thanksgiving and Christmas. The company also provides significant long-term retention bonuses and a 50% discount at all Rocket Farm Restaurant locations. Opportunities for professional development are abundant through Rocket Farm University’s specialized leadership classes and personalized career advancement support. Furthermore, employees are encouraged to participate in mentorship programs, advisory councils, and safety committees, cultivating a workplace environment that not only nurtures talent but also empowers individuals to perform their best.

Superica Nashville’s Sous Chef position represents a rewarding career choice for culinary professionals who seek to join a reputable company that combines a strong ethical foundation, a commitment to quality, and the chance to thrive in a vibrant and collaborative kitchen culture. If you’re passionate about leadership and culinary excellence, this opportunity to join Rocket Farm Restaurants’ team at Superica Nashville could be the next step in your professional journey.
