About this role

As a Sous Chef at Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, you'll work in collaboration with the Executive Chef to craft exciting, innovative, and delicious food. You'll participate in team leadership, communication, training, and development, all while providing outstanding service to our guests.

In this role, you'll lead all aspects of the kitchen in the Executive Chef's absence, inventively solving issues and seizing control of problematic situations. You'll order, stock, and inspect food quality, maintain budgeted labor costs, and ensure all tickets are executed in 20 minutes or less.

Our San Francisco-born entrepreneurial spirit and zest for life kick-started this culture in 1981, and it shines through to this day. We celebrate the lively, rebellious, genuine you, because when people can be themselves at work, they shine. Guests feel it; you'll feel it too.

Your work here has meaning — you're here to improve the lives of coworkers, guests, owners, and communities. That's what drives all that we do, and you can expect the same in return. It all starts with you.
