They train, mentor, and evaluate employees to maintain high performance and quality standards. They also organize schedules and ensure all shifts are covered efficiently.

They check ingredient quality, conduct taste tests, and perform final dish inspections before service.

Inventory and Supply Management: They monitor kitchen inventory, order ingredients and supplies as needed, and ensure proper storage to prevent waste and contamination.

Sous Chefs enforce sanitation standards, supervise cleaning schedules, and train staff on food safety practices such as preventing cross-contamination and maintaining proper food temperatures.
