DESCRIPTION:

We are seeking a Sous Chef for the launch of a small restaurant operation within an operating distillery in the heart of San Francisco. This position will assist the Head Chef in setting menus and systems as well as training and onboarding of opening staff.

About the client: While using traditional Italian methods, we take our inspiration from regional landscapes and source many ingredients directly from local producers. Each expression of our brand captures a specific landscape: Orchards, Woodlands, and Chaparral. Building on our ethos of creativity and exploration, we continue to develop new and experimental releases of various curated spirits. As a company, we honor the diversity of experiences, histories, and identities that make American craft production so vibrant, and we celebrate our community. This restaurant concept will be a continuation of our brand identity and expressions. The space will allow us to connect with our community through regular restaurant, bar services, and public and private events.
