  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits coverage
  • Dining discounts at over 25 affiliated STARR Restaurants
    - and more!
Desired candidates will be:
  • Humble in their approach to learning and professional self-development
  • Passionate about using Asian ingredients in a unique and exciting way
  • Energetic and enthusiastic and possess strong communication and organizational skills
Desired candidates will have:
  • Leadership qualities, including the ability to inspire, teach, and coach restaurant employees
  • 2+ years of kitchen leadership experience as a sous chef in high-volume and well-rated restaurants 
  • The ability to support the line during service while managing transition from prep to service
