High-Volume Restaurant
📍 Financial District, Manhattan
💰 $80,000 – $90,000 + Full Benefits
A vibrant, high-volume restaurant in Downtown NY is seeking a talented and driven Sous Chef to join its leadership team.
This is a confidential replacement for a key role—an exciting opportunity to step into a well-established, consistently busy operation with strong systems already in place. The team is looking for a passionate, supportive leader who brings positivity, structure, and a team-first mindset to the kitchen.
About the ConceptThis is a well-known, high-energy restaurant with a loyal following and strong presence in the NYC dining scene. Operating 7 days a week, the concept delivers bold, craveable cuisine in a fast-paced environment and continues to grow its reputation as a go-to destination.
The kitchen is led by an experienced Executive Chef and supported by a solid BOH team, offering a stable foundation with real opportunity to contribute and grow.
As Sous Chef, you will work closely with the Executive Chef and ownership to oversee day-to-day BOH operations, while remaining a hands-on leader on the line.
This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in high-volume kitchens and enjoys working within a collaborative, team-driven culture.
Key Responsibilities- Support and lead daily kitchen operations in a fast-paced environment
- Ensure consistency, quality, and execution during service
- Coach, develop, and motivate the team
- Maintain organization, systems, and kitchen standards
- Uphold recipe integrity and assist with menu execution
- Foster a respectful and positive kitchen culture
- Strong experience in high-volume kitchens (essential)
- Background in Mexican or Latin cuisine is a plus
- Positive, team-first leadership style
- Organized, calm under pressure, and solutions-oriented
- Comfortable integrating into an established team
- Eager to learn and grow within a strong operation
Schedule & Work-Life Balance
- 45–50 hours per week
- Wednesday–Sunday schedule
- Typical hours: 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM
- Two consecutive days off (weekends required)
- Kitchen closes at midnight — no late-night
Compensation & Benefits
- $80K–$90K base salary
- Performance-based bonuses
- 100% company-paid health insurance (after 90 days)
- 2 weeks PTO
Why This Role Stands Out
- Join a busy, proven concept with strong infrastructure
- Work alongside an established Executive Chef and team
- Be part of a positive cultural shift in leadership
- Opportunity to make a real impact without starting from scratch
- Strong work-life balance for NYC hospitality
