Snooze – Who are we?

Morning people! Yes, we are those
people. We are a full-service breakfast restaurant, and we want each morning to
feel like your weekend and happy hour rolled into one — no matter which side of
noon it’s on. We’re the place where you can be you, and where our regulars are
anything but. Everyone’s welcome at our table because the same goes for our
people as it does for our dishes: the unexpected twists are what makes them so
special.


The Sous Chef Role at Snooze

As second in command of the Snooze Heart of House (kitchen
or BOH) you are responsible for ensuring the highest quality food and
standards. Your primary duties include maintaining all kitchen functions
including the purchasing, storage, inventory and preparation of food products
while upholding a standard of excellence in safety and sanitation.  You are also responsible for training
Snoozers on methods of cooking, preparation, plate presentation, portion
control, food waste, and efficiencies. You are the Head Chef’s right hand in
ensuring guest satisfaction is being met consistently. Your overall goal is to
maintain the “WOW” factor of Snooze food, be creative, have fun, and be a role
