At Chambers, we are seeking true hospitalitarians who thrive in an environment that promotes growth and excellence. NOTE: This particular position is perfect for a line cook looking for a bridge to becoming a Sous Chef. Strong preference will be given to candidates with demonstrable experience at Garde Manger, on the Grill and in front of the Plancha. This is a full-time, 5-days position.
Chambers opened in June 2022, was added to the Michelin Guide the same year, and was the recipient of a glowing NY Times Review.
The entire concept at Chambers has been built around the elimination of the pressure-cooker-environment restaurants are known for. To achieve this, we have limited the scope of our operation. The restaurant operates 5 days a week, with the same small team day in and day out. Tuesday - Saturday from Labor Day - Memorial Day; Monday - Friday for the Summer with a paid Summer holiday for all. The restaurant opens at 5:30pm daily, with the last seating at 9:30pm or 10pm depending on the day. This is a full time position.
As a part of this mission, Chambers maintains a small, regularly-changing, market-driven menu of New American Cuisine. The limited menu means limited prep, naturally shortening the workday. It is rare for any member of the Culinary Team to work over 45 hours per week.
The hourly wage for this position will be $25/hour. Comprehensive Health, Dental and Vision benefits are available, as is a pre-tax transit benefit program among other extensive voluntary benefits programs that are competitive with those offered by large restaurant groups.
Please submit an application below for consideration. Those who submit applications with resumes that meet the necessary qualifications will receive an email to schedule an introductory meeting.
