We’re bringing our vibrant dishes, laid-back coastal energy, and warm hospitality to Texas, and we’re looking for an experienced Sous Chef to help lead our Back-of-House team for this exciting new opening.

• Strong leadership, communication, and people development skills
• A passion for fresh, vibrant, flavorful food and consistent execution
• Ability to manage ordering, inventory, and kitchen systems
• Experience opening a new restaurant is a plus, but not required
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work on your feet for long periods
• Flexible availability — including evenings, weekends, and holidays
• Positive energy, organization, and a proactive work ethic

What We Offer

• Competitive Salary: $70,000–$75,000 + Bonus
