Food sets the stage, drinks create the mood. The only thing we need is a friendly Sous Chef member of the TSH community!
Located in the heart of the Capital City of Italy, one of the richest in history and culture in Europe while looking at the future, The Social Hub Rome will be the fourth Social Hub in Italy after Florence Lavagnini, Florence Belfiore and Bologna. Situated in the dynamic neighborhood of San Lorenzo, surrounded of local bars, restaurants & shops, with a strong artistic and cultural atmosphere, The Social Hub Rome will operate around 392 rooms, a 10,500 m2 park, a thriving co-working community, restaurants and a rooftop with a pool. We’re so much more than just a hotel. Are you ready to reimagine hospitality with us and establish TSH in the heart of the Roman community?
Your Mission Should you choose to accept it…
You are the secret behind-the-scenes mastermind of the kitchen. Without you, the Chef probably wouldn’t be able to find his butcher knife. As Sous Chef, you are a natural motivator, capable of managing and inspiring the kitchen staff in your partie – and for the kitchen at large in the absence of the Chef. Your focus is to create an effective cooking process. You provide input to the Chef for recipes and menus which are developed based on market trends and budget boundaries – all while maintaining a healthy profit margin while using the best possible ingredients. The Sous Chef is co-responsible for the overall guest food experience and is committed to making the dishes that are delicious and memorable.

Basically, we don’t want to change who you are because we think the best hospitality comes from people who can be themselves and show our guests their personality. Our team is diverse, representing more than one nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, culture and personality type. That’s what makes our team so special.
