Full Job Description

Sous Chef/ Assistant General Manager (AGM)

Compensation: $48,000 - $55,000 w/ bonus potential (based on experience)

Schedule: Full-time, 45-50 hours/week

Job Type: Salaried, Full-time, in-person

About the Role
At FARE, we’re looking for strong kitchen operators who take pride in execution, organization, and leading a team through busy services.

This role is a culinary-focused Kitchen Operations / Assistant General Manager position and serves as the clear second-in-command in the restaurant. You’ll own day-to-day kitchen execution, including running service, leading prep, and holding a high bar for food quality and consistency. You’ll work closely with the General Manager to ensure the kitchen and front of house stay aligned and the operation runs smoothly.

We cook from scratch in every kitchen every day, using real ingredients and building seasonal menus that change throughout the year. This role is for someone who cares about how food is made and wants to lead a kitchen with consistency, accountability, and pride.

When the General Manager is not present, you’ll step in as Manager on Duty and be expected to lead the full store, including shift execution, team supervision, guest issue resolution, and real-time problem solving. This is not a traditional back-of-house-only sous chef role — it is a hands-on kitchen leadership position with broader operational responsibility.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants to grow within restaurant operations, whether that leads to General Manager, broader kitchen leadership, training, or other culinary-focused opportunities over time.

**THIS ROLE WILL TRAIN AT OUR OAK PARK AND OTHER CHICAGO LOCATIONS PRIOR TO OPENING AT ONE OF OUR NEW STORES.** New Store locations are available in Lakeview & Old Town.

This role is ideal for someone who is ready to grow into a General Manager position and wants hands-on experience leading both people and operations.

What You’ll Do

Run the Operation

Lead shifts and ensure smooth, efficient service
Make real-time decisions on staffing, flow, and execution
Step in as Manager on Duty when the GM is not present

Develop the Team

Train, coach, and support team members on a daily basis
Reinforce standards and hold the team accountable during shifts
Support hiring efforts and help build a strong team

Own the Guest Experience

Deliver and model strong hospitality
Resolve guest issues quickly and professionally
Ensure every guest has a consistent, high-quality experience

Maintain Food & Operational Standards

Enforce food safety, cleanliness, and organization
Ensure recipes, portioning, and presentation standards are met
Taste food daily to ensure quality and consistency

Support the Business

Help manage labor and control food costs during shifts
Monitor prep, waste, and product usage
Assist with inventory and learn how the business operates financially

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of restaurant or hospitality leadership experience
Experience leading shifts in a fast-paced environment
Strong understanding of restaurant operations (front and back of house preferred)
Ability to coach, lead, and hold a team accountable
Willingness to learn and grow into a General Manager role
Availability to work a flexible schedule (mornings, evenings, weekends)

Compensation & Growth

Competitive salary based on experience
Bonus eligibility tied to restaurant performance
Potential path to General Manager role as the company grows

Schedule Expectations

Approximately 45–50 hours per week
Mix of weekdays, evenings, and weekends

Physical Requirements

Ability to stand and walk for extended periods
Ability to lift up to 40 lbs
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment

Why FARE

We’re a growing restaurant group with a focus on quality, consistency, and team development. As we expand, we’re looking for leaders who want to grow with us and take ownership of their role.

Pay: $48,000.00 - $55,000.00 per year
