Job Description

Sous Chef – Mexican cuisine
High-Volume Restaurant

Financial District, Manhattan
$80,000 – $90,000 + Full Benefits

About the Opportunity

A vibrant, high-volume restaurant in Downtown NY is seeking a talented and driven Sous Chef to join its leadership team.

This is a confidential replacement for a key role—an exciting opportunity to step into a well-established, consistently busy operation with strong systems already in place. The team is looking for a passionate, supportive leader who brings positivity, structure, and a team-first mindset to the kitchen.

About the Concept

This is a well-known, high-energy restaurant with a loyal following and strong presence in the NYC dining scene. Operating 7 days a week, the concept delivers bold, craveable cuisine in a fast-paced environment and continues to grow its reputation as a go-to destination.

The kitchen is led by an experienced Executive Chef and supported by a solid BOH team, offering a stable foundation with real opportunity to contribute and grow.

The Role

As Sous Chef, you will work closely with the Executive Chef and ownership to oversee day-to-day BOH operations , while remaining a hands-on leader on the line .

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in high-volume kitchens and enjoys working within a collaborative, team-driven culture .

Key Responsibilities
  • Support and lead daily kitchen operations in a fast-paced environment
  • Ensure consistency, quality, and execution during service
  • Coach, develop, and motivate the team
  • Maintain organization, systems, and kitchen standards
  • Uphold recipe integrity and assist with menu execution
  • Foster a respectful and positive kitchen culture
What We’re Looking For
  • Strong experience in high-volume kitchens (essential)
  • Background in Mexican or Latin cuisine is a plus
  • Positive, team-first leadership style
  • Organized, calm under pressure, and solutions-oriented
  • Comfortable integrating into an established team
  • Eager to learn and grow within a strong operation
Schedule & Work-Life Balance
  • 45–50 hours per week
  • Wednesday–Sunday schedule
  • Typical hours: 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM
  • Two consecutive days off (weekends required)
  • Kitchen closes at midnight — no late-night
Compensation & Benefits
  • $80K–$90K base salary
  • Performance-based bonuses
  • 100% company-paid health insurance (after 90 days)
  • 2 weeks PTO
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Join a busy, proven concept with strong infrastructure
  • Work alongside an established Executive Chef and team
  • Be part of a positive cultural shift in leadership
  • Opportunity to make a real impact without starting from scratch
  • Strong work-life balance for NYC hospitality
