Sous Chef – Catering & Events
Location: Slightly Toasted + The Landing | Chicago, IL
Toasted Hospitality is looking for a Sous Chef with a strong catering background to join our flagship location, Slightly Toasted —a 100-seat restaurant in the Loop—along with our soon-to-open, 500-person event space, The Landing .
In this role, you’ll work side-by-side with our Executive Chef and prep team to guide and execute events both in the restaurant and in The Landing. You’ll be part of a team that thrives on variety—from multi-day conferences with continental breakfasts, to seated corporate lunches, to lively whiskey dinners featuring one of Chicago’s largest bourbon collections.
While Slightly Toasted itself is a relatively intimate space, our building houses multiple event and conference venues, meaning no two weeks look the same. One day you might be prepping for a 400-person networking reception, the next crafting a plated dinner for a high-end tasting event.
Schedule & Hours
This is a Monday–Friday position focused on prep and event execution. Expect three longer days (Tues–Thurs) and two shorter days (Mon & Fri), averaging around 40 hours per week.
