Communicate calmly and respectfully, even during busy service.
Lead with humility and set the standard through actions.
Help create an environment where employees enjoy coming to work and guests receive an exceptional experience.

Pastry experience a plus, but not a must.
Previous Sous Chef or equivalent supervisory experience preferred.
Strong knowledge of culinary techniques and food safety.
Experience managing high-volume service.
Excellent communication and leadership skills.
Ability to multitask under pressure.
