As a Sous Chef, you are the heartbeat of the kitchen. You’ll be working directly with the Kitchen Manager to manage a fast-paced line, oversee prep for the lunch and dinner rushes, and ensure every plate leaving the window meets our standards.

Essential Qualifications

  • Experience: Minimum of two years of experience as a Line Cook in a fast-paced or high-volume restaurant is required.

  • Reliability: Must be committed to working the entire season (May-October), including evenings, weekends, and all major holidays. Reliability is non-negotiable.

  • Stamina: Ability to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs. Must handle the physical demands and heat of a busy commercial kitchen.

  • Skills: Proven knife skills, station proficiency (e.g., grill, sautĂ©, fryer), and the ability to read and execute recipes accurately.

Island Perks

  • Competitive Wages: Excellent hourly pay (based on experience) that reflects the high-volume demands of the job.

  • Island Housing: No need to worry about the commute; we provide affordable on-island housing for our staff.

  • The "Work Hard, Play Hard" Culture: Enjoy island life on your off-hours—fishing, kayaking, live music, and the unique PIB community.

  • Meal Perks: Discounts during shift and off shift at all sister restaurants.
