A well-established coastal bistro concept in Flagler Beach is seeking a seasoned Sous Chef to step into a leadership role within a structured, high-performing culinary team. This is an opportunity for a chef who thrives on standards, execution, and leading from the line — not from the sidelines.

• Visible role with direct impact on execution and team culture

What You’ll Oversee

• Daily kitchen operations and line execution
• Team leadership, coaching, and development
• Scheduling and labor management
• Inventory, ordering, and food cost controls
• Maintaining quality, consistency, and presentation standards
• Upholding sanitation and safety compliance
• Leading service with urgency and professionalism

Schedule & Salary

• 55-hour workweek
• 5 days on, 2 consecutive days off
• $55,000 – $65,000 annually (BOE)
