Job Summary: We are seeking a Sous Chef responsible for leading the team, organizing service, and ensuring the kitchen operates efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Key Highlights: 1. Culinary culture rooted in respect and clear systems 2. Genuine opportunities for development within the group 3. Spaces where high standards and positive energy coexist **About Us** We are Neptune Commune, a hospitality group where every detail matters — even the ones guests don’t see. Our kitchens thrive on rhythm, responsibility, and people who respect one another. We’re looking for a **Sous Chef** who treats the kitchen as their domain — and their responsibility. **The Role** As Sous Chef, you are one of the key people ensuring the kitchen functions smoothly — before, during, and after service. You work side-by-side with the Chef to uphold Neptune standards — flavor, temperature, portion size, presentation, and consistency — while leading the team, organizing service, and ensuring the kitchen is prepared, fully stocked, and operating efficiently. During service, you don’t wait to be told what to do. **You anticipate. You communicate early. You take ownership.** **What We Expect** * Ensure every dish leaving the kitchen meets defined standards. Taste, correct, and never let subpar items pass. * Prepare and organize the team for service, ensuring *mise\-en\-place*, stock levels, and station readiness are completed before urgency arises. * Maintain up-to-date recipes, technical sheets, and kitchen processes, and ensure the team knows and follows them. * Lead by example during service — stay calm, communicate clearly, and help the team maintain pace. * Communicate proactively with the Chef and front-of-house team so everyone knows what’s happening and service never has to guess. * Monitor stock levels, orders, deliveries, and waste, maintaining constant attention to food cost and taking action when costs or consumption deviate from standards. * Ensure compliance with HACCP regulations and kitchen organization and cleanliness standards. * Assume full responsibility for the kitchen and service in the Chef’s absence. **Who You Are** * You have prior experience in a professional kitchen and previous experience as a Sous Chef or in a leadership role. * You know how to lead people without ego and sustain high standards. * You value consistency — the quiet kind of excellence. * You operate effectively under pressure and remain level-headed when service intensifies. * You notice what needs doing and act before anyone asks. **What You Can Expect From Us** * A kitchen culture rooted in respect, * Clear systems that support excellent work. * Genuine opportunities for development within the group * Spaces where high standards and positive energy coexist. **Why Neptune Commune?** At Neptune, people take ownership, and people care — about guests, about food, and about each other. You’ll join a team that treats one another with respect, celebrates work and achievements, and supports growth. If you’re the kind of Sous Chef who **doesn’t wait for someone else to solve a problem you’ve already seen** — who maintains high standards, leads calmly, and elevates the team around you — you’ll feel at home in our kitchen. Compensation: €1,400.00 per month Benefits: * Commercial discounts * Health insurance * Transportation allowance Work Location: On-site
