Sous Chef - Richland Country Club

Sous Chef — Richland Country Club

Richland Country Club is looking for a Sous Chef who thrives under the pressure of a packed banquet calendar, laughs in the face of a Saturday wedding — Sunday brunch — Monday holiday triple-header, and can run a line like a maestro conducting an orchestra. If “normal business hours” isn’t really your thing and you’d rather be in the thick of it when the Club is busiest, keep reading.

What You'll Cook Up

Lead and support kitchen production for a la carte dining, banquets, weddings, tournaments, and holiday events across the Club Partner with the Executive Chef on menu execution, plating standards, and kitchen operations Supervise, train, and motivate culinary staff during high-volume shifts — events don't run themselves Manage food quality, consistency, presentation, and sanitation standards, every single service Assist with inventory, ordering, and cost controls to keep the kitchen running like a well-oiled (and well-stocked) machine Step in as kitchen leader in the Executive Chef's absence, including on nights and weekends

What You Bring to the Kitchen

2+ years of experience in a supervisory culinary role — country club, hotel, or high-volume restaurant experience preferred Culinary degree or equivalent hands-on experience A steady hand under pressure and a genuine love of the chaos that comes with event season Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills ServSafe certification (or willingness to obtain within 30 days of hire) A flexible schedule — see below, because we believe in being upfront

Let's Talk Schedule (the Fun Part)

This role runs on the Club's calendar, not a 9-to-5 one. Expect regular evenings, weekends, and holidays — that's when the Club comes alive. Weddings, galas, tournaments, and member events are the heartbeat of this job, not the exception to it. Major holidays (think Thanksgiving, Easter, Mother's Day, New Year's Eve) are peak season for us — and where a great Sous Chef truly shines. If your ideal schedule is quiet weeknights and free weekends, this probably isn't your kitchen. If you get energized by a full event board, welcome home.

What's In It For You

Competitive salary: $60,000–$70,000/year, based on experience A collaborative culinary team and a genuine seat at the table with leadership The chance to help shape menus and events for a premier private club Employee meals, club-provided uniforms, and continued growth in your culinary career A workplace where no two weeks (or menus) look the same
