Jack Sprat Looking for Alaska Slope-side Dining has a Year Round opening for Sous Chef Full Time

The culture of Jack Sprat is like a family. We enjoy the work and value our time off (two consecutive days off is standard). The staff likes to plan activities together on weekends. Our progressive Tip Share includes the front and the back of the house equally which makes for great wages that are fairly distributed between all non-management players. By appreciating everyone on the team, the result is a very positive attitude and teamwork throughout. Our Chef and Dining Room Manager are proactive, working managers. We are looking to expand the team with a Sous Chef that will oversee the prep and baking necessary for a successful dinner service. We prefer candidates that have baking experience, but we may consider an applicant with other strong skills and experience.
