Description About June’s All Day & MML Hospitality
Straight from its iconic corner on South Congress in Austin, June’s All Day is bringing its lively, chic neighborhood cafe & wine bar concept to Dallas! Under the umbrella of MML Hospitality, June’s delivers an effortless, high-energy dining experience from morning espresso and brunch staples to late-night bistro classics like steak frites, raw bar items, and house-made pastas.
We are assembling an elite Opening Team to launch June’s in Dallas, and we need a disciplined, high-energy Sous Chef to help build our kitchen culture and execute our high-volume all-day menu from day one.
The Role: What You’ll Do
As a Sous Chef on our opening team, you are the operational anchor on the line. Working side-by-side with the Executive Chef and MML culinary leadership, you will train a brand-new kitchen staff, oversee daily line execution, manage prep cycles, and ensure relentless plate consistency across all dayparts.
Key Responsibilities:
Opening Team Launch: Assist with initial kitchen setup, station organization, recipe rollouts, and BOH onboarding prior to doors opening.
Line Leadership & Expo: Lead from the front by expediting or running the pass during peak rushes, making sure every plate leaves the kitchen meeting strict quality and presentation standards.
All-Day Execution: Oversee the smooth operational shift between morning/brunch prep cycles and high-volume evening bistro service.
Inventory & Cost Control: Assist with daily food ordering, vendor receiving, prep par management, food waste tracking, and inventory counts to hit targeted prime costs.
Kitchen Standards & Sanitation: Maintain a safe, immaculately clean, and organized kitchen environment compliant with all Dallas City Health Department regulations.
Team Development: Mentor, train, and motivate line cooks and prep cooks, creating a respectful, professional, and growth-oriented kitchen environment.

You are a organized, line-tested culinary leader who thrives in the fast-paced energy of a scratch kitchen and loves the challenge of an opening.
Experienced: 2+ years of experience as a Sous Chef, Junior Sous, or Senior Lead Line Cook in a high-volume, upscale scratch kitchen. New restaurant opening experience is a major plus.
All-Day Versatility: Comfortable managing diverse station rhythms—from precision egg work and fast-paced brunch services to high-temp evening grilling and line prep.
High Standards: Passionate about quality ingredients, classic technique, clean station maintenance, and sharp knife work.
