Sous Chef Continental

The House of Maitreya is a new, slow-living café and outdoor kitchen coming up in North Goa. This is a ground-up kitchen, not an already-set operation. We’re looking for a Sous Chef (Continental) who wants to be part of building something from day one.

As a Sous Chef, you will support daily kitchen operations, assist in menu execution, and help maintain quality and consistency across the continental section. This is a hands-on role with room to grow for someone who takes ownership and responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in breakfast, brunch, café mains, and Continental and Italian preparations
• Support menu trials, prep planning, and daily mise-en-place
• Maintain hygiene, food safety, and cleanliness standards
• Assist with inventory handling and stock rotation
• Work closely with the Head Chef and kitchen team during service

Experience & Requirements

• Minimum 4 years of professional kitchen experience in continental cuisine
• Strong fundamentals in continental cooking and basic Italian preparations
• Comfortable working in a new café setup where systems are still evolving
• Willingness to learn, adapt, and take initiative
• Based in Goa or open to relocation
• Immediate joining preferred

What We’re Looking For

• A calm, responsible cook with solid kitchen discipline
• Someone who enjoys building systems, not just following them
• Team-oriented mindset with respect for food and colleagues
• Ability to handle service pressure without compromising quality

What We Offer

• Opportunity to grow with a kitchen being built from the ground up
• Learning-focused environment with hands-on leadership
• Food and stay provided in the property
