The Shift Lead role, also referred to as the Sous Chef position, is a full-time hourly opportunity based in Boston, offering a competitive pay rate of $18-20 per hour plus tips. The shift lead plays a critical role in supporting restaurant leaders to achieve culinary and hospitality excellence.

An essential part of this role involves training and mentoring Chefs-In-Training to develop their culinary skills, fostering a positive work environment, and maintaining high standards of food safety and quality. The shift lead will also oversee shift operations including managing prep lists, waste logs, inventory, and food ordering systems to ensure seamless food preparation and service.
