Summary
The sous chef is responsible for planning and directing food preparation in a kitchen. He must be the master of the kitchen and need to be the strongest of each station with the ability to evaluate performance and jump in at a moment's notice to get the station to its peak performance.
This will involve a large degree of supervising other kitchen staff, as well as keeping an eye out for problems that arise in the kitchen and seizing control of a situation at a moment’s notice.
The sous chef will also need to effectively discipline underperforming staff members, as well as provide incentives for staff members to go above and beyond the expectations of their particular chef roles.
Outside of the kitchen, the sous chef will be responsible for staff scheduling. A large portion of a sous chef’s duties, however, are administrative, sometimes taking up to a quarter of his or her work hours.
