Local Three/Warhorse Investments is Hiring a Sous Chef - Step Into One of Atlanta’s Most Iconic Kitchens
Full-Time | Between $60-$65k Based on Experience | Profit Share | Full Benefits
Quality of Life: 50 hours a week, with two days off
Tired of cooking the same old boring food every day? Seeking a new challenge? Want to work where the menu changes frequently and ingredients are premium? Where learning is important and people care about their craft? Where trading your time doesn’t just get you money, you learn & get better at your career? Is making guests happy important to you? Is being part of a team important to you? Looking for a challenge and want a busy restaurant where you are never bored?
We’re looking for a Sous Chef to help lead the kitchen at Local Three and Warhorse Investments and the talented team behind it. Someone who cares about craft, consistency, and keeping the bar high every single shift. A chef with a highly honed sense of ownership, meticulous attention to detail, and a high level of “give a $h!t.”
This isn’t a “check the boxes and watch from the sidelines” Sous Chef position. You’ll be in the kitchen when it counts, leading service from the heat of the action, and keeping the BOH running smoothly and efficiently. You’ll work side-by-side with our Chef de Cuisine, collaborating on menus, training cooks, sourcing product, and holding the standards that make Local Three’s kitchen one of the best in the city.

We want someone who:

• Cooks like they mean it and can teach others to do the same. Think Mr. Miyagi, but with knives…
• Leads with calm, confidence, and a sense of urgency.
• Sees a problem and fixes it before it hits the guest.
• Knows that leadership means setting the tone every single shift.
• Takes ownership of their kitchen, their numbers, and their team. Captain Picard level command, minus the spaceship.
• The kitchen is clean, organized, and on point. Every day.
• The food is consistent, beautiful, and exceeds guest expectations
• The team knows their stuff because you trained them to cook and execute at a high level
• Labor and food costs are in line because you’re on top of it.
• Service runs smoothly because you planned for it.
• You’re proud to put your name on every plate that leaves the pass.
• 2+ years of relevant kitchen leadership experience.
• Strong skills in training, cooking, menu costing, and product sourcing
• Ability to thrive in a high energy, high standard, scratch environment.
• Clear communication and the ability to earn trust and respect from your team.
• The drive to keep learning and improving every day.
• Annual salary in the $60,000 - $65,000 range based on experience.
• Attainable profit sharing
• Health insurance with generous employer contribution (optional vision and dental).
• 401(k) with company match.
• Company-paid life insurance, short and long-term disability.
• Start with 5 days paid vacation, grow to 15 with tenure.
• Annual loyalty cash bonus
• Employee dining discount at all Unsukay locations.
• A real team to run the kitchen with you: Chef de Cuisine, multiple Sous Chefs, multiple FOH Managers. You’re not doing this alone.
• A company owned and run by restaurant people.

If you:

• Feel like the Swedish Chef was speaking your language long before you ever picked up a knife…
• Get genuine satisfaction from mentoring cooks and building strong teams (more Ted Lasso than drill sergeant…)
• Thrive where the standards are high, the BS is low, and the pace keeps you just this side of feral…

Then this is your kitchen. We just haven’t hired you yet.
If you believe you could excel in this role, we encourage you to apply. We are committed to considering a broad range of candidates, including those with diverse work experience and backgrounds. Whether you’re new to the hospitality industry, returning to work after a gap in employment or looking to take the next step in your career path, we will be glad to have you on our radar.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering who’s behind all this: Unsukay Restaurants (The name? Totally made up. It means “doesn’t suck.”) We’re the team behind Local Three, Muss & Turner’s, Roshambo, MTH Pizza and a few private clubs. We make places where hospitality still matters, details count, and people come first. That belief doesn’t stop at our own team. We also co-founded Giving Kitchen, a nonprofit that provides emergency assistance to food service workers in crisis. It’s one of the things we’re proudest of, and a core part of who we are.
