Fancy Plants Kitchen is looking to hire an experienced sous chef with kitchen management experience to join our team! 

 

We are a 100% vegan kitchen.

If you know how to cook well in other kitchens, cooking here isn't so different. 

We do have some unique recipes and techniques, but I enjoy teaching, and I've never had an experienced cook not be able to pick up on these methods in short time.

Our sous chef is a 7 year Alinea veteran, who I love working and collaborating with.

I spent 11 years cooking in wonderful kitchens in San Francisco, and have been opening independent businesses in the 6 years I've been in Chicago.

We are looking for someone who is very hungry to learn with us, and rise to a higher level with their cooking.

If you are truly interested, explain why you would be a great fit in your cover letter, and use the word 'culinarian' once in your letter.  We'll know you really saw us and pay attention.  Good job already!

 

This restaurant is doing well, but we have enough space to do 4x the business, and to become a restaurant that grosses $2million/year.

 

As much as we love to cook, we're also very community minded and like to throw parties.

80% of our clientele is women (i.e. vegan cooking), and we hook up with different creatives to do fun things.  We cater events and collaborate with different musicians and artists to throw parties here.

We are:
1) A tight, focused team who is equal parts playful, and professional.
2) Cooks who enjoy creating fun dinner theme parties, continuing to learn, and exploring creative cooking.
3) Cooks who work clean, efficiently, and and with the focus one expects from a professional line cook.

I would like to find someone who is passionate about keeping our standards, tasting all their food, and helping the kitchen to be focused and organized.

 

If cooking vegan is some kind of learning curve, I have recipes, and I love to teach.

Pay is dependent on experience, can be houly or salaried, and includes health insurance

 
Being on time and having a good attitude are paramount. Take care of us, and we'll take care of you.

If you are interested please send us your resume, availability, and why you would like to join our team.
We will reach out and respond to each and every single applicant, so you can be clear about the likelihood of you working here.
We believe in good communication, and if you reach out to us, we'll reach out to you.

Thank you in advance for your time!

Sincerely,

-Kevin Schuder
