Job Description

Rose’s Restaurant Group is seeking creative, passionate, and talented individuals to join our super awesome team. We are in the “making people happy” business, we just happen to serve great food and offer next-level hospitality. We work hard, make people happy, and have fun while we are doing it!

We are seeking a Sous Chef to join our James Beard award winning team at one of our D.C Michelin starred restaurants: Rose’s Luxury, Little Pearl, and Pineapple and Pearls, and Extra Fancy, our international events company.

Our focus at Pineapple and Pearls is to create an exciting and enjoyable experience for our guests each night. We want to take all the fun and fancy aspects of "fine dining" and shed all the awkwardness and stuffiness that, unfortunately, often accompanies it.

We are big on communication and organization. We believe these are huge keys to success. The better we are able to communicate and organize ourselves, the more success we will have.

We are big on teaching and growth. We work hard to make sure everyone is constantly growing and learning. We want everyone who works with us to become a better cook, barista, chef, manager, guest liaison, and most importantly, leader.

We like having fun. While we take our jobs very seriously, we also do so lightheartedly. In other words, we love to hustle and get better everyday but we also love to do it while laughing and having fun at the same time. (And yes, that is possible).

We have awesome benefits for full-time employees

Qualifications and skills: 

Our ideal candidate will be culinary-focused with a minimum of two years of kitchen experience in upscale restaurant operations and someone who, most importantly, has a real passion for making people happy. They will be dependable, motivated to learn, committed to working as a team member, and possess excellent communication skills. 

Candidates should be comfortable in a fine dining environment and possess a strong knowledge of food and wine.
