* Organize daily prep and station pars

* Coordinate ticket flow and kitchen communication during service

* Supervise and support line cooks and prep cooks

* Maintain proper labeling, FIFO, sanitation, and NYC DOH standards

* Assist with receiving, inventory, and ordering when needed

* Train cooks on recipes, techniques, and kitchen standards

* Communicate shortages, 86s, and operational issues clearly to the Chef

What We Are Looking For

* 3+ years of professional kitchen experience

* Strong line cooking and prep skills

* Experience as a Lead Line Cook, Chef de Partie, Junior Sous Chef, or Sous Chef preferred

* Good understanding of French cooking techniques is a plus

* Strong organization, communication, and sense of ownership

* Ability to take responsibility for the kitchen when the Chef is not present

* Reliable, calm, and professional under pressure

* NYC Food Protection Certificate preferred

This position is ideal for an experienced line cook ready to take the next step, or a junior sous-chef who wants to remain hands-on while developing stronger leadership and operational responsibilities.

There is real opportunity for growth for the right person within a well-established neighborhood café.
