Experienced Sous Chef

Camps Kitchen | Bar | East Cobb, Georgia

$25.00 per hour

Camps Kitchen | Bar is seeking an experienced, dependable, and passionate Sous Chef to join our culinary leadership team.

Welcome to Camps Kitchen | Bar, East Cobb's signature dinner destination, where thoughtfully crafted cuisine, expertly curated cocktails, and genuine hospitality come together to create memorable dining experiences. Proudly recognized as one of Atlanta's premier dining destinations, Camps offers guests an elevated yet welcoming atmosphere where every meal is crafted with soul and served with heart.

Our menu celebrates fresh flavors and creative cuisine, featuring crispy shareable plates, garden-fresh salads, stone-oven pizzas, handmade pastas, and seasonal chef-inspired features that showcase new ingredients and innovative techniques throughout the year.

At Camps, we believe exceptional restaurants are built by exceptional leaders. We are looking for a hands-on Sous Chef who leads by example, thrives in a fast-paced kitchen, and understands that consistency, organization, and teamwork are the foundation of every successful service.
