Scarsdale, NY | Full-Time | 5 Days per Week | 50–55 Hours
This is an opportunity for an ambitious sous chef—or a first-time Chef de Cuisine—who's ready to lead a kitchen while continuing to cook every day.
We're looking for a self-starter with strong organizational skills, a sense of urgency, and a genuine passion for hospitality. You'll work directly alongside ownership, including an accomplished Michelin-recognized chef, gaining the kind of mentorship that's difficult to find in today's restaurant industry.
What You'll Do
Lead the kitchen while remaining actively involved on the line.
Set the pace and the standard for execution, cleanliness, and professionalism.
Train, coach, and inspire the culinary team.
Manage ordering, inventory, prep, scheduling, and food cost alongside ownership.
Maintain consistency, quality, and attention to detail during every service.
Help develop seasonal menus and daily specials.
What We're Looking For
A motivated chef ready to take the next step in leadership.
Strong work ethic and the ability to work independently.
Calm under pressure with excellent organizational skills.
Positive leadership style and willingness to teach by example.
Passion for classic technique, seasonal ingredients, and continuous learning.
3–5 years of progressive kitchen experience (Sous Chef or similar preferred).
What We Offer
Five-day work week.
50–55 hour schedule with a strong work-life balance by industry standards.
Competitive salary based on experience.
Paid vacation.
Creative input and room for growth.
Daily collaboration with an accomplished Michelin-recognized chef and ownership team.
The opportunity to build your career—not simply hold another kitchen job.
If you're looking for a place where you'll be challenged, mentored, and given the opportunity to grow into an exceptional culinary leader, we'd love to hear from you.
