SOUS CHEF NEEDED

Job Description

Milk Burger is all about doing simple things exceptionally well. Great burgers, great champagne, quality ingredients and a lot of attention to the details that actually matter. We’re ambitious about what we do, but we want the restaurant — and the team behind it — to feel relaxed, energetic and fun.

As our Sous Chef, you’ll:

• Join a young, ambitious team genuinely obsessed with great food and even better burgers
• Work side by side with our Head Chef to keep the kitchen organised, consistent and running at its best
• Take ownership during prep and service, leading by example when things get busy
• Get involved beyond the pass — contribute ideas, develop dishes and constantly look for ways to make things better
• Help us create a kitchen that has high standards without the unnecessary ego
• Care about ingredients, technique and precision, whether it’s the perfect smash on a burger or getting the smallest detail right
• Bring your own personality and ideas to the team — we’re building something new, and we want you to be part of shaping it

Job Requirements

Founded by hospitality entrepreneurs Alina and Dima, with the kitchen led by Chef Jorge Paredes, Milk Burger is a young independent restaurant with big ambitions. We’re here to make exceptional burgers using great produce, proper technique and a slightly obsessive attention to detail — while keeping the atmosphere relaxed, energetic and fun.

We’re looking for a Sous Chef who’s on the same wavelength:

• Strong experience in a busy, quality-driven kitchen
• Confident taking the lead, supporting the team and keeping standards high through a busy service
• Genuinely passionate about food, ingredients and, naturally, very good burgers
• Hands-on, organised and the kind of person who’s already thinking two steps ahead
• Serious about consistency and the details, but never about kitchen ego
• Curious and proactive — someone who brings ideas, asks questions and wants to keep improving
• A strong communicator who knows how to get the best out of a team
• Comfortable with the operational side of the kitchen too — ordering, stock, paperwork and all the unglamorous things that make everything else run properly
• Ambitious, driven and excited to grow alongside a young restaurant that’s just getting started
