What are the responsibilities and job description for the LITTLE SPARROW EXECUTIVE SOUS CHEF - UP TO $80K/yr. + BONUS (Midtown) position at Little Sparrow?
At Rocket Farm Restaurants, the core philosophy that defines our culture is "We serve the person who is serving the guest." Our culture is not something we act out on the floor of the restaurant. It starts with how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen - with dignity, respect, and care. We believe there should be no difference in how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen and how we treat and serve our guests in the dining room. We hope you agree and will consider joining us!
Inspired by Parisian bistros and old Brooklyn neighborhood taverns, Little Sparrow was named for Edith Piaf, a celebrated singer and lover of boxer Marcel Cerdan (for whom our neighboring Marcel is named). Approachable with high-level service and attention to detail, Little Sparrow restaurant is classic and free from pretense, yet polished - a place to indulge in a refined dining experience or just grab a perfect medium-rare burger and fries.
Little Sparrow is looking for a driven and attentive Executive Sous Chef!
The Executive Sous directly oversees the day-to-day operations of all areas of the kitchen including production / prep, private parties and special events, stewarding, purchasing and receiving.
