CAFFE BOA

We are hiring a hands-on Sous Chef who works the line every day. This is not a “stand back and supervise” position.

If you don’t like getting your hands dirty, this is not the job.

We are a scratch kitchen, and we take pride in doing things the right way.
We are also a community-first restaurant built on regulars and consistency.

Our Motto: Community above everything.

Awards:

• Best Restaurant in Ahwatukee (2024)

• Setting up and stocking stations
• Executing dishes consistently and correctly
