Job Description

Sous Chef — Maggiano's Little Italy Why Maggiano's?

At Maggiano's, we believe great food brings people together. Our scratch-made Italian-American classics and warm, family-style hospitality have made us a destination for life's most meaningful moments — from anniversaries and graduations to everyday dinners that become lasting memories. Rooted in the tradition of 1940s Little Italy dinner houses, we blend timeless recipes with quality ingredients and genuine hospitality. We call it "approachable elegance" — an upscale experience without the pretense. If you're passionate about culinary craft and creating experiences that make people feel special, this is where you belong.

The Role

As a Sous Chef, you are the heartbeat of our kitchen — leading the line, mentoring cooks, and ensuring every dish that leaves the pass reflects Maggiano's commitment to quality and consistency. You'll partner with the Executive Chef to uphold our culinary standards while developing the next generation of kitchen talent. This is more than a job — it's a path to growth. Many of our Executive Chefs started in this role, and we're committed to developing leaders who share our passion for Italian-American cuisine and hospitality. You'll have the opportunity to refine your craft, shape a high-performing team, and make a real impact on the Guest experience every single day.

  • Manage food production, prep lists, and inventory to minimize waste
  • Uphold sanitation and food safety standards in compliance with health regulations
  • Step into any kitchen station as needed to support the team during high-volume periods
  • Collaborate with leadership to control food costs and drive operational excellence

What You Bring

  • 2+ years of culinary leadership experience in a full-service restaurant
  • Strong command of Italian-American cuisine and classic cooking techniques
  • Proven ability to lead, train, and motivate a kitchen team
  • Knowledge of food safety, sanitation, and health code compliance
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed
  • Able to perform essential job functions in a dynamic restaurant environment, which may include exposure to varying temperatures, noise levels, and peak-hour demands
  • Able to move throughout the restaurant, retrieve items from shelves and storage areas, and transport supplies weighing up to 30 lbs, with or without reasonable accommodation

What we have to offer

  • Competitive compensation with performance-based bonus opportunities
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Company-paid Life Insurance and Disability coverage
  • Career growth and advancement opportunities across Brinker brands

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
