At Sobie’s in Oconomowoc, we built our reputation on scratch cooking, quality seasonal ingredients, and a passionate dedication to our community. Now, after 8+ years of growth, we are looking for the right person to step into our kitchen, master our line, and eventually take the reins.
We’re not just hiring a cook—we’re seeking the next leader of our kitchen. Someone who wants to work directly alongside the current chef/owner, learn the ins and outs of our operation, and build a path toward full kitchen management.
Who You Are:
Experienced & Skilled: You have proven line experience in high-volume, scratch-cooking kitchens. You know your way around a line, prep station, and pass.
Passionate About Food: You respect fresh ingredients, clean preparation, seasonal specials, and consistent execution.
A Natural Leader: You don't just want to execute dishes—you care about the overall culture, efficiency, waste control, and mentoring others.
Driven by Ownership Mindset: You treat every plate as if your name is on the sign outside. You want a real future in the restaurant industry, not just a paycheck.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Working the line side-by-side with the owner/chef to master our current menu and scratch recipes.
Assisting with daily prep, inventory management, vendor relations, and seasonal menu development.
Learning the business and financial sides of running a profitable, respected local kitchen.
Graduating into full kitchen operations leadership—managing the line, scheduling, dish quality, and kitchen culture.
What We Offer:
Competitive, Fair Pay: Based on your experience and skill level.
Mentorship & Growth: Direct coaching in both culinary arts and business operations from an experienced owner.
Real Upward Mobility: A clearly defined path to Kitchen Manager / Head Chef leadership.
Great Working Environment: A respected, community-centered local favorite where quality and work ethic are genuinely appreciated and teamwork is invaluable.
How to Apply:
If you’re ready to build something meaningful and take ownership of your future, we want to hear from you.
