THE OPPORTUNITY

Encore Brewing Co. is a busy, multi-faceted venue with a full kitchen and a high-volume, quality-driven food program. We’re a brewery, arcade, bowling alley, and live music venue with a menu built for sharing, pairing, and holding its own next to a great beer list.
We’re looking to bring on a Sous Chef who’s ready to step into a leadership role, contribute creatively, and help drive consistency, quality, and flow in a dynamic kitchen environment.
About the Menu
Our focus is creative comfort food that complements the brewery setting—think pizza, tacos, house-smoked meats, rotating features, and in-house sauces. We like to experiment and evolve, but the execution has to be sharp.
This is not fine dining—but it’s not a free-for-all either. We aim to hit that sweet spot where flavor, speed, and consistency all matter equally.
The Role

As Sous Chef, you’ll work directly with our Head Chef to:

• Lead line and prep during service
• Maintain standards of cleanliness, food quality, and presentation
• Support feature development and beer pairing ideas
• Manage inventory, prep systems, and communication with the FOH team
• Train and coach junior staff
• Step in during off-site events, caterings, and when the Chef is off-shift

You’ll need to be calm under pressure, comfortable leading a team, and confident in your ability to take initiative without micromanagement.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 3 years kitchen experience, with at least 1 in a leadership role
• Solid organizational habits—clean, efficient, and focused
• Clear communicator who can help keep the line moving smoothly
• Someone who understands the pace and pressure of high-volume service
• Experience with off-site events or catering is a plus
• Bonus points if you’re into beer and how it pairs with food

Why Encore?
We’re not a chain. You’ll have room to influence the menu, lead the kitchen, and take pride in what you’re serving. We don’t cut corners, and we value people who treat this like a profession—not just a job.
If you’re looking for a kitchen with standards, momentum, and space to grow—this could be a great fit.
To apply, send your resume or a quick intro. We’ll set up a time to meet and talk more about the role.
