• Enforce food safety, sanitation, and cleanliness standards across a shared, high-traffic kitchen

• 
  Proven experience as a Chef de Cuisine, Sous Chef, or Kitchen Manager in a high-volume, upscale casual or fine-dining kitchen

• Strong command of kitchen fundamentals: staffing, ordering, food cost, and sanitation
• The composure to lead a team through high-volume, fast-paced service without losing standards
• Respect for, and ideally experience with, French, Mediterranean, or Vietnamese cuisine, or the humility and speed to learn both quickly and execute with precision
