About Us:

Join the team at IPOT, a vibrant hotpot and Asian-fusion concept located in San Francisco.

What You'll Do:

  • Collaborate in menu development (hotpot broths, dipping sauces, meats & ingredients, specials) and help implement new lunch service initiatives.
  • Oversee kitchen during shifts in the chef's absence: scheduling, ordering, waste control, sanitation, vendor relations.
  • Help implement brand-driven standards for IPOT across service types (dine-in lunch, dinner, hotpot experience) and support delivery/take-out operations.
  • Ensure compliance with all local/regional health regulations, labor-laws, and internal policies.

Qualifications / Requirements:

  • Minimum 2 years of experience as a Sous Chef or senior line cook in a high-volume restaurant (ideally Asian cuisine, hotpot, or fusion).
  • Strong leadership skills; ability to train and manage teams.
  • Excellent knowledge of kitchen operations, food safety (ServSafe or equivalent), cost-control, inventory management.
  • Creative mindset for menu enhancements and willingness to embrace brand growth initiatives (delivery, lunch service, social-media driven specials).
  • Flexible schedule – evenings, weekends, and potentially early shifts for lunch service.
  • Passion for hospitality, quality food, and building a strong kitchen culture.

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Hourly wage: $32-40/hour (commensurate with experience)
  • Opportunity for performance bonus and growth into Head Chef/Executive Sous Chef roles as brand expands.
  • Employee food discounts and free meals during shifts.

How to Apply:
