Job Description

Executive Sous Chef — Salary: $65,000 to $75,000 (based on experience)

About the Role We're looking for an Executive Sous Chef with a passion for fresh, vibrant Mexican cooking to be second-in-command in our kitchen. Working closely with the Executive Chef, you'll lead daily operations, uphold our standards, and run the line with consistency and heart. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who respects the ingredient, cooks at a high level, and can command a kitchen when the chef is off the floor.

We cook fresh, ingredient-driven Mexican food: house masa and tortillas, fresh salsas, dried chiles, slow-cooked proteins, and bright, seasonal produce. No shortcuts, no cans.

What You'll Do

  • Run the line and lead the kitchen when the Executive Chef is off the floor
  • Hold recipes, plating, and quality standards every service
  • Train and develop line and prep cooks
  • Manage prep, setup, and mise en place
  • Handle ordering, inventory, food cost, and waste
  • Keep DOH, HACCP, and food safety compliance
  • Help with menu development and specials
  • Schedule staff to labor targets
  • Run line checks and quality control
  • Troubleshoot equipment and jump on any station when needed

What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years in a senior kitchen leadership role, high-volume preferred
  • Real experience with fresh Mexican cuisine: masa, salsas, chiles, traditional techniques
  • Strong command of food cost, inventory, and labor
  • NYC Food Protection Certificate (or ability to obtain on hire)
  • Calm, decisive leadership under pressure and a genuine standard for excellence
