Sloopy's Diner is hiring an experienced Sous Chef to run the line alongside our Chef. This is a hands-on kitchen role in a high-volume campus location — you'll be cooking, expediting, and keeping the back of house moving through rush.

• Hold the line on food quality, portioning, and plating standards
• Lead and train kitchen staff on shift; set the pace and the tone
• Maintain food safety, sanitation, and temperature logs to health code
• Open or close the kitchen as scheduled

What we're looking for

• Prior sous chef, kitchen lead, or senior line cook experience
• Comfortable on every station and able to jump between them under pressure
• Knife skills, scratch prep, and a real sense of timing
• Dependable, on time, and steady when the rush hits
• Available nights and weekends; campus schedule follows the academic calendar
• ServSafe certification a plus — we'll help you get it if you don't have it

Why Sloopy's

• Competitive hourly pay with room to move up
• Consistent hours and a stable schedule
• Independently operated restaurant on the Ohio State campus — not affiliated with or employed by the university
• Growing company with advancement across multiple locations
