SOUS CHEF-Private Club

The Bohemian Club hosts a range of events, from exclusive intimate dinners to large banquets accommodating up to 650 guests. This variety fosters a dynamic and exciting work atmosphere. The kitchen management team is seeking ambitious, skilled individuals who recognize the importance of teamwork. We believe our kitchen is a unique space where individuals contribute their distinct perspectives and skills. We are committed to fostering a positive work environment. Ultimately, if you can listen, show respect for others, and are eager to learn, you will likely find this environment as enjoyable as we do. Unlike many social clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Bohemian Club offers most weekends and all major holidays off.
