We are seeking an experienced, motivated, and hands-on Executive Sous Chef to assist in leading the culinary operations of our golf course, restaurant, banquet, and event facilities.

The Executive Sous Chef works closely with the Executive Chef to oversee daily kitchen operations while maintaining high standards for food quality, presentation, consistency, sanitation, and guest satisfaction. This position plays an important leadership role within the culinary team and requires someone who can successfully balance à la carte restaurant service with golf outings, weddings, banquets, tournaments, and other special events.

The ideal candidate is a strong culinary professional who enjoys being actively involved in the kitchen, develops and holds staff accountable, remains organized during high-volume periods, and takes pride in delivering an exceptional guest experience.

Essential Duties ; Responsibilities

Culinary Operations

* Assist the Executive Chef with all aspects of daily culinary operations.

* Supervise food preparation and execution for restaurant service, banquets, weddings, golf outings, tournaments,

and special events.

*Ensure food is prepared and presented according to established recipes, portion standards, and quality expectations.

*Maintain consistency in taste, presentation, temperature, and portioning.

*Assist with menu development, seasonal offerings, daily specials, banquet menus, and event-specific menus.

*Coordinate prep and production schedules based on restaurant volume, tee sheets, banquet event orders, and

scheduled functions.

*Lead kitchen operations in the Executive Chef's absence.

Leadership & Staff Management

 Assist with recruiting, training, scheduling, supervising, and evaluating culinary employees.

 Provide daily direction to cooks, prep cooks, dishwashers, and other culinary team members.

 Establish clear expectations and hold team members accountable for performance, attendance, cleanliness, and

professionalism.

 Help develop culinary employees through hands-on training and coaching.

 Promote teamwork and effective communication between culinary, restaurant, banquet, golf, and management teams.

 Help create a positive, professional, respectful, and productive kitchen environment.

Banquets, Weddings, Golf Events

 Work closely with banquet and event teams to execute weddings, golf outings, tournaments, corporate events, member events, and private functions.

 Review banquet event orders and communicate culinary requirements with appropriate staff.

 Coordinate timing and execution for plated meals, buffets, stations, hors d'oeuvres, and large-volume functions.

 Anticipate production and staffing needs for upcoming events.

 Maintain high standards of food quality and presentation regardless of event size or volume.

Food Cost & Inventory Management

 Assist the Executive Chef with purchasing, receiving, inventory, and product rotation.

 Monitor food usage, waste, portioning, and production levels.

 Help maintain established food-cost goals without compromising quality.

 Ensure proper storage, labeling, dating, and rotation of food products.

 Participate in regular food inventory counts.

 Assist with vendor relationships and product-quality evaluations.

 Identify opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary waste.

 Ensure employees follow workplace safety standards.

 Immediately address sanitation, maintenance, or safety concerns.

Qualifications

 Minimum 3–5 years of professional culinary experience, preferably including supervisory or management responsibilities.

 Previous experience as a Sous Chef, Executive Sous Chef, Kitchen Manager, or similar culinary leadership position preferred.

 Experience with high-volume restaurant, banquet, wedding, country club, resort, hotel, or golf course operations strongly preferred.

 Strong knowledge of food preparation, cooking techniques, sanitation, and kitchen operations.

 Experience with food costing, inventory management, purchasing, and portion control.

 Ability to lead and motivate a diverse culinary team.

 Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

 Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities.

 Culinary degree or formal culinary training preferred but not required with equivalent professional experience.

 Must be available to work a flexible schedule based on business demands.

 Evening, weekend, and holiday availability is required.

 Schedule may fluctuate seasonally based on golf, restaurant, wedding, and banquet business.

What We're Looking For

The successful Executive Sous Chef will be a hands-on leader rather than an office-based manager. We are looking for someone who leads by example, maintains high standards, communicates effectively, and understands the importance of both culinary excellence and financial responsibility.

This individual should take ownership of the kitchen, support the Executive Chef, develop the culinary team, and help ensure every guest—from a golfer stopping in for lunch to a couple celebrating their wedding—receives a consistently excellent experience.

Performance Expectations

 Consistent food quality and presentation

 Guest satisfaction

 Successful execution of restaurant and banquet service

 Food and labor cost management

 Inventory and waste control

 Kitchen cleanliness and sanitation

 Employee training and retention

 Staff productivity and accountability

 Effective communication with other departments

 Ability to successfully manage high-volume and special-event operations

Equal Opportunity Employment

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and consider qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

Pay: From $45,000.00 per year
