As part of their strategic growth plans, Sueno is poised to become a flagship concept and is actively welcoming talented professionals who want to be part of something special from the ground up. The company is particularly interested in attracting culinary talent from larger markets such as Cincinnati and Columbus, offering a unique chance to experience the big city vibe in a smaller, more accessible city. The position of Line Cook at Sueno is a challenging yet rewarding role that requires stamina, passion, and composure. Working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, the line cook must be precise, detail-oriented, and vigilant in maintaining safety standards while handling fire and sharp kitchen tools. The role is physically demanding and requires a high degree of skill and focus, often described as an adventure akin to being Indiana Jones of the kitchen. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in dynamic settings and enjoys the rush of a busy service. The kitchen team at Sueno works alongside nationally recognized professionals, including a three-time James Beard Foundation Best Chef finalist, providing an inspiring environment for culinary growth and professional development. The restaurant values not only foundational cooking skills but also a genuine eagerness to learn and evolve within the hospitality industry. As the company plans to expand with new concepts in the future, joining Sueno means becoming part of a forward-thinking and ambitious team that rewards dedication and creativity. Compensation for this role ranges from $17 to $22 per hour, depending on experience, flexibility, and attitude. Sueno emphasizes a positive culture where every team member contributes to the overall success and reputation of the restaurant. The role includes the advantage of working in a stunning open kitchen, allowing for interaction with guests and a tangible connection to the vibrant dining atmosphere. Additionally, Sueno offers relocation assistance for qualified candidates, making it easier for talent from outside the immediate area to join their team and be a part of Dayton's urban revival. This move not only promises professional growth but also an improved quality of life, living in an emerging market known for its affordability and expanding cultural landscape.
