Sous Chef

Iberico is a new Spanish and Portuguese tapas and wine bar at 258 DeKalb Ave in Fort Greene. It comes from the team behind Colonia Verde, Comparti Catering and Comodo. We just opened. The menu is small plates and the wine list comes from the producers we work with directly.

We’re looking for a Sous Chef to run the line alongside our Chef and help shape the kitchen while it’s still new.

What you’ll do

• Run evening service: work the line, expo, and keep pace and quality on every plate
• Lead the kitchen on the Chef’s days off
• Own prep lists, par levels and a prep-heavy day each week
• Train and direct cooks and porters; keep a clean, organized, respectful kitchen
• Receive and check orders, rotate stock, control waste
• Keep DOH standards and logs (temps, labeling, sanitation)
• Help develop dishes and specials as the menu grows
• Coordinate kitchen sharing with Comparti, our catering company, which uses the space during the day

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years as a sous chef or senior line cook in a busy full-service kitchen
• Knowledge of Spanish/Portuguese or Mediterranean cooking is a strong plus: conservas, charcuterie, plancha, rice, croquetas
• A calm leader who teaches well and stays steady on a slammed night
• Organized and fluent with prep systems, inventory and ordering
• NYC Food Protection Certificate (or able to get one within 30 days)
• Available nights and weekends
• Spanish a plus

Schedule & pay

• Full-time, 5 days a week, afternoons and evenings (service starts at 4pm)
• $24 - $27/hour depending on experience
