Chicago, Illinois, United States Sous Full time

About the Role

Sous is a premier platform that connects skilled chefs with clients seeking personalized culinary experiences for weekly meal preparation and special events.

As a chef on our platform, you will have the autonomy to establish your own pricing and schedule while curating unique menus tailored to your clients' preferences. The typical compensation for new chefs ranges from $35 to $40 per hour.

Ideal Candidate

We are in search of passionate and engaging chefs who possess exceptional culinary and hospitality skills, along with a polished personal presentation.

You may be an excellent fit if you:

  • Have an impressive culinary background. Our clientele seeks chefs with extensive high-end culinary experience.
  • Thrive in customer interactions. As chefs work in clients' homes, being receptive to customer feedback is essential.
  • Are skilled in menu creation. You will design custom menus weekly and for special occasions.
  • Maintain a professional appearance. This role is customer-facing, so a polished look is crucial. Additionally, you should be comfortable speaking on camera for promotional content.
  • Possess strong organizational skills. You will manage multiple client relationships and orders simultaneously.

Responsibilities

For weekly meal preparation, chefs are expected to:

  • Create a personalized menu each week, incorporating client input
  • Handle grocery shopping
  • Prepare meals in the client's home
  • Stock the refrigerator with prepared meals for the week
  • Ensure the kitchen is left clean and tidy

For Private Events

In addition to the above, chefs will be responsible for executing family-style or plated dinners in the client's home, rather than simply stocking the fridge.

About Sous

Founded in 2024, our platform is designed to empower personal chefs by providing tools to:

  • Receive orders for weekly meal prep and private dining experiences
  • Submit proposals featuring custom menus or select from pre-designed templates
  • Showcase your personality, expertise, and client reviews on your profile
  • Communicate directly with clients
  • Manage orders and process payments efficiently
  • Gather feedback and ratings from clients

Our Vision

We strive to liberate chefs from the constraints of low-paying restaurant jobs, enabling them to work independently, earn a better income, and enhance their quality of life. For our clients, we believe that having a personal chef is the optimal way to enjoy delicious, tailored meals regularly, promoting a healthier lifestyle.
