Job description

**About Us** Cream City Concepts is Milwaukee’s hospitality group built for the energy of a packed house. We run Oak Barrel Public House, Who’s on Third, Who’s on Layton, Cream City Catering, and 3rd Street Retreat — craft food, cold drinks, game days, date nights, big events, and a place to stay, all over the city. The pace is fast, the standards are high, and the people are what make it work. **About the Role** The Sous Chef is the second\-in\-command at Who’s on Third — the Head Chef’s right hand and the kitchen’s leader on the floor. You run service on the line, own prep and quality systems, lead and develop the team, and hold the standard when the Head Chef is off. Make no mistake — this is a cooking job. You’re on the line, in the weeds, prepping and cleaning right alongside your team, and you’re the steady anchor the whole kitchen runs on. You bring positivity and a hospitality\-first mindset — the guest comes first in everything the kitchen sends out. **One Kitchen, One Team** In our kitchens, nobody is above any station. As the Sous Chef you set the example and hold the whole team to it — you jump on any station, dish, or prep when the kitchen needs it, and nobody on your crew is above any job either. We run as one team, not separate jobs. **Clean and Organized — Always** There’s no standing around in our kitchens — if you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean. When the team isn’t on a task, they’re cleaning, organizing, restocking, or prepping ahead, and you hold them to it. You keep the kitchen clean and organized all shift and own the cleaning checklists — daily, weekly, and monthly. A clean, organized kitchen is the standard here, not the exception. **What We’re Hiring For** *Skills change by station. These five don’t — they’re the bar in every CCC kitchen, every shift.* * **Optimistic Warmth —** You set the tone for the kitchen — steady and positive — and the team feeds off it when it’s slammed. * **Curious Intelligence —** You’re
