Pastry Sous Chef - Hawksmoor Chicago
Chicago is the historical powerhouse of American beef, and when Hawksmoor found out about an actual powerhouse building, it felt like fate. So, after years of dreaming, we've set out eyes on coming to Chicago. And we've found ourselves a home we cannot wait to settle into.


The LaSalle Street Cable Car Powerhouse is a beautiful, designated landmark, initially opened in 1887, in the heyday of Chicago's cable care system. We intend to do it justice by restoring the original features to their former glory and, at the same time, breathe new life into the space.


Reporting to the Executive Chef, we're looking for a brand-new Pastry Sous Chef to join our team and open our second international restaurant in Chicago.


Work somewhere awesome:
Careers with Hawksmoor Group are among the best - generous pay and benefits, award-winning restaurants, unrivalled career opportunities and some of the happiest people in the business (as voted by the people who work here). The Sunday Times has recognised us in their Best Companies awards, for seven years in a row, as one of the top 100 companies to work for in the UK and we endeavour to do the same in the US.


Key responsibilities of the role include:


To support the Executive Pastry Chef in:

• Food quality and consistency
• Taking part in menu development and tastings
• Efficiency of services/kitchen
• Product and service standards
• Health & Safety
• Maintenance of kitchen equipment

A good understanding of:

• Products
• Company recipes (which must be followed exactly)
• Systems, including QSR, Stock management and inventory control

To be considered for the role you will have:

• Experience launching and opening restaurants in New York and the US.
• Comfortable and experienced with high volume businesses in terms of both covers and revenue.
• Excellent leadership skills with ability to teach, coach and train all FOH and BOH employees.

Salary, package and benefits all to be discussed at the interview.


In addition to your specific responsibilities, everyone at Hawksmoor has one fundamental focus that should guide everything they do: To make sure everyone leaves happy and wants to come back.


This applies to customers and to employees. This means that everyone needs to have a flexible attitude and be willing to pitch in and help wherever needed to make sure the restaurant runs smoothly and customers leave happy. Hawksmoor
