Sous Chef

SOUS CHEF / LINE COOK (All Stations) – MINT2 SLINGERLANDS

Fine Dining
• Scratch Kitchen
• Growth Opportunity

Mint2 in Slingerlands—our newly opened, fast-growing fine-dining, craft-cocktail concept—is building an elite culinary team as we prepare for the Albany Food & Wine Festival competition. We are a fully scratch kitchen, rooted in beauty, precision, creativity, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence.

We are seeking a hard-working, ambitious, detail-driven Sous Chef / Line Cook who thrives in a clean, organized, professional kitchen and wants to grow with us as we continue expanding.

Who You Are

You love:

• Cooking with purpose, creativity, and discipline
• A spotless, organized kitchen with pristine coolers and perfectly labeled prep
• Dishes, cleaning, sweeping, mopping, breaking down boxes—because great kitchens run on great habits
• Following recipes exactly —doubling, tripling, scaling with total accuracy
• Learning, growing, and supporting an Executive Chef + Head Chef
• Working all stations with confidence: Grill, Sauté, Salad, Prep, and Dish
• Plating beautifully, consistently, and with intention every single time

If precision is your natural language… if you take pride in being reliable, gentle, calm, hungry to learn, and committed to culinary excellence—this is your kitchen.

If sloppiness, shortcuts, or missed steps are your norm, this will not be the right fit.

The Role

• Assist leadership in daily kitchen operations
• Execute dishes with accuracy, speed, and artistry
• Keep the kitchen spotless and organized at all times
• Maintain impeccable labeling, storage systems, and cooler organization
• Support prep from scratch: chopping, blending, batching, flavor-layering
• Handle all five stations with confidence and the desire to master each
• Uphold the highest standards of food safety, sanitation, and consistency

What We Offer

• A positive, respectful, growth-oriented environment
• Opportunity to rise within a rapidly expanding brand
• Involvement in high-profile culinary events and competitions
• Hourly or salary options depending on skill, reliability, and work ethic
• A chance to be part of a young restaurant (opened April 2025) with tremendous momentum and room to grow

If you're ambitious, disciplined, hungry to learn, and ready to become part of a team dedicated to craft, beauty, and excellence, we'd love to meet you.
