Sous Chef – Hawksmoor Chicago

Chicago is the historical powerhouse of American beef, and when Hawksmoor found out about an actual powerhouse building, it felt like fate. So, after years of dreaming, we’ve finally made the move to Chicago. And we’ve found ourselves a home we cannot wait to settle into.

The LaSalle Street Cable Car Powerhouse is a beautiful, designated landmark, initially opened in 1887, in the heyday of Chicago’s cable car system. We done it justice by restoring the original features to their former glory and, at the same time, breathe new life into the space.

Reporting to the Executive Chef, we’re looking for a brand-new Sous Chef to join our team and support our second international restaurant in Chicago.

Work somewhere awesome:

Careers with Hawksmoor Group are among the best – generous pay and benefits, award-winning restaurants, unrivalled career opportunities and some of the happiest people in the business (as voted by the people who work here). The Sunday Times has recognised us in their Best Companies awards, for seven years in a row, as one of the top 100 companies to work for in the UK and we endeavour to do the same in the US.

 

Key responsibilities of the role include:

  • To support the Executive Chef in;
  • Food quality and consistency
  • Taking part in menu development and tastings
  • Efficiency of services/kitchen
  • Product and service standards
  • Health & Safety
  • Maintenance of kitchen equipment
  • Set an example to staff when running the pass or working on a section.
  • Giving support to senior staff within the team FOH/BOH
  • To support the Executive Chef and manage the kitchen’s financial performance, including:
  • Being aware of GP targets
  • Ensure stock levels are appropriate and ordering is optimised
  • A good understanding of:
  • Product
  • Company recipes (which must be followed exactly)
  • Systems, including QSR, Stock management and inventory control

 

To be considered for the role you will have:

  • Extensive experience running some of the best kitchens in Chicago.
  • Experience launching and opening restaurants in Chicago and the US.
  • Comfortable and experienced with high volume businesses in terms of both covers and revenue.
  • Top management and interpersonal skills.
  • Excellent leadership skills with ability to teach, coach and train all FOH and BOH employees.
