Job Description

Rocket Farm Restaurants is a renowned hospitality group known for its exceptional commitment to fostering a culture centered around mutual respect, care, and dignity, especially among the kitchen staff. The company's core philosophy, 'We serve the person who is serving the guest,' highlights its deep belief in treating every team member with the same respect and care given to guests, creating a harmonious and efficient work environment. This ethos drives the overall guest experience and ensures that the culture experienced on the floor starts from the very heart of the operation—the kitchen. Rocket Farm Restaurants operates multiple locations across various cities, offering unique dining experiences with diverse themes and menus, but all aligned under a unified dedication to quality service and respect within the team.

Superica, one of the key restaurants under the Rocket Farm umbrella, brings a vibrant Old-West inspired atmosphere to Nashville. Known for its relaxed yet upbeat vibe, Superica specializes in Mexican cuisine served throughout the day alongside refreshing margaritas that attract a lively crowd. The restaurant’s ambiance combines tradition and innovation, creating a dynamic dining experience.

Superica Nashville is currently seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Sous Chef to join its culinary team. This is a full-time position offering a competitive salary typically ranging from $55,000 to $70,000 annually, depending on experience, with the added advantage of a generous quarterly bonus program. The Sous Chef role is pivotal, managing the hourly back-of-house staff and assisting in daily kitchen operations across multiple facets, including production, preparation, stewarding, purchasing, and receiving. The role demands a leader capable of maintaining high standards and ensuring consistency in menu item presentation and flavor by rigorously training line cooks in established recipes.

Furthermore, the Sous Chef supports the Executive Chef by leading the kitchen proactively, solving problems efficiently, and maintaining a calm demeanor under pressure. The position requires at least three years of progressive culinary experience, including at least one year in a lead cook or sous chef role. This role offers the opportunity to be part of a dynamic, innovative, and heartfelt team of unique individuals committed to culinary excellence and positive workplace culture.

Employment benefits at Rocket Farm Restaurants are robust, with full eligibility after 30 days, including major medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans. Team members enjoy a supportive culture that values ethics and integrity, dynamic merit-based raises and promotions, paid time off including parental and childbirth recovery leave, and significant long-term retention bonuses. The company also provides time off on most major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, along with a generous 50% employee discount across all Rocket Farm Restaurants locations. Additional opportunities for professional growth are available through Rocket Farm University's specialized leadership classes and personalized career advancement support, as well as active employee-led mentorship programs, advisory councils, and safety committees. Rocket Farm Restaurants is an equal opportunity employer committed to informing applicants of their rights under federal employment laws.
