Sous Chef Jobs in Charlotte, NC

A Sous Chef, often considered as the right hand of the Executive Chef, plays a crucial role in managing kitchen operations in the culinary industry. The Sous Chef is responsible for developing menus, assisting in food preparation, maintaining kitchen inventory, supervising kitchen staff, and ensuring adherence to quality and safety standards. Furthermore, they collaborate closely with the Executive Chef in creating innovative recipes, designing special dishes, and managing kitchen budgets.
