Brandwein’s

Here at Brandwein’s, our way is a little different: we believe good food done well has the power to make each person’s day a little bit better. We support and honor locally sourced ingredients with our freshly baked goods and delicious food. We celebrate creativity and reward hard work in an environment that is respectful, energetic, and fun.

We live by our Core Values: Be Caring, Be Humble, Be Hungry, Be Thoughtful, Be Positive. We begin each day with a “Good morning!” and end each shift with a “Thank you.”

Brandwein's is an equal opportunity employer. Our employees are the heart and soul of the business and we intend to do everything we can to make Brandwein’s a healthy and safe work environment for you. Everyone who enters our space has our promise to be treated with dignity and respect.

Catering Sous Chef

Voted one of Chapel Hill Magazine’s “Best Catering Companies,” Brandwein’s is excited to continue growing our catering team to better serve our community!

Brandwein’s Catering Department is growing, and we are excited to welcome a Catering Sous Chef — a hands-on, organized, detail-oriented culinary leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume, hospitality-focused environment.

The Catering Sous Chef works directly under the Director of Culinary Operations and plays a critical leadership role in preparing, executing, and organizing catering orders of all sizes — from simple bagel and coffee drop-offs to large-scale events serving 500+ guests.

This person loves going above and beyond, takes an ownership mentality in every aspect of the culinary process, and approaches each catering experience with thoughtfulness. You are energized by creating beautiful, consistent products; ensuring every detail is correct; and making people’s days a little brighter through food and hospitality.

You understand that catering is hospitality at scale — it’s about being curious, noticing details, following through, and caring deeply about quality, presentation, and guest experience.

If you love food, leadership, organization, and the challenge of executing high-quality catering with precision and care… come join the fun!
