ABOUT JOB

A sous-chef de cuisine, or simply sous-chef, is a chef who is "the second in command in a kitchen; the person ranking next after the head chef." Consequently, the sous-chef holds much responsibility in the kitchen, which can eventually lead to promotion to becoming the head chef. A sous chef is responsible for planning and managing food preparation in restaurant kitchens. Known as the assistant to the head chef or the head chef’s second in command, these skilled individuals perform a range of duties including planning menus, training new staff, and recording inventory.
