Job description

The Meat Store is looking for an experienced, dependable Sous Chef with meat-cutting experience to join our growing team. This is a hands-on position combining culinary skills, food preparation, meat cutting, and day-to-day kitchen leadership.

We are a locally owned specialty meat store focused on high-quality meats, prepared foods, sandwiches, and exceptional customer service. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work, understands proper food handling, and enjoys working with premium ingredients.

Responsibilities

  • Cut, trim, portion, and prepare beef, pork, and poultry for retail sale and kitchen use
  • Prepare steaks and specialty cuts including ribeyes, New York strips, filets, sirloin, roasts, and other cuts
  • Assist with daily preparation of sandwiches, prepared foods, sides, sauces, marinades, and store specialties
  • Help develop new menu items, prepared meals, and seasonal specials
  • Maintain consistent recipes, portion sizes, presentation, and food quality
  • Assist with inventory, product rotation, waste control, and food-cost management
  • Maintain exceptionally clean and organized meat-cutting and food-preparation areas
  • Follow proper sanitation, food-safety, temperature-control, and cross-contamination procedures
  • Help train and supervise kitchen and food-preparation employees
  • Step into a leadership role when needed and help keep daily production running smoothly
  • Provide friendly customer service and answer questions about meat cuts, preparation, and cooking

Qualifications

  • Previous professional meat-cutting experience required
  • Previous restaurant, butcher shop, meat department, or commercial kitchen experience
  • Sous Chef, Lead Cook, Kitchen Supervisor, or similar leadership experience preferred
  • Strong knife skills and knowledge of meat fabrication and portioning
  • Knowledge of food safety and sanitation practices
  • Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment
  • Dependable, organized, and able to work as part of a team
  • Comfortable working on your feet and lifting/carrying meat and food products as required
  • Must take pride in cleanliness, consistency, and quality

What We’re Looking For

We want someone who is more than just a line cook. The ideal candidate understands both the kitchen and the butcher block. You should be comfortable breaking down and portioning meats while also helping lead food preparation and creating high-quality prepared foods for our customers.

If you have restaurant culinary experience combined with professional meat-cutting skills, we would love to talk with you.

Why Join The Meat Store?

The Meat Store is a locally owned business where quality matters. You’ll have the opportunity to work with premium meats, contribute ideas for new products and menu items, and become an important part of a growing operation.

Not your grocery store meat.
