Pastry Chef de Partie

About Counter-
Counter- is not just a restaurant; it is an immersive, full-sensory experience that uses taste, sound, and art to tell a story. Located in West Charlotte, we offer rotating quarterly themed tasting menus—such as "Modern Art," "The Wall," and "Terroir"—where every course is paired with a specific song and narrative. We are a Michelin-starred and Michelin Green Star establishment, committed to sustainability and social equity. Our wine program is a cornerstone of this experience, specifically highlighting stories not often told.

The Role
We are seeking a talented individual with a drive to learn and excel in a high-pressure, fast-paced, and detailed environment. Assisting with the execution and preparation of dishes and concepts at the highest level. 

• Prep execution: Prepare a 10-15 item prep list including high level pastry items, various tarts, etc. for service
• Service expectations: Plate multiple courses throughout the menu and assist the team during service to achieve a Michelin star experience. This includes everything from filling water glasses and polishing glassware to preparing all items for a 15-18 course tasting menu. 
• Standards: Hold and maintain the established standards for organization, cleanliness and attentiveness, and strive to raise those standards.  
• Service Excellence: Assist in all aspects of the "shared experience" service, including clearing, resetting, and supporting the dining room, team in our open-counter environment.

Counter- is a modern, forward-thinking restaurant driven by precision, creativity, and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence. We are building a kitchen culture rooted in discipline, curiosity, and continuous improvement. Counter- is where technique and innovation work in harmony.
