Sous Chef

At Copper Vine, we are always looking to meet innovative and hospitality minded people to join our team.

If you’re a wine enthusiast that appreciates the fast pace of downtown and a desire for cultivating relationships, we want to hear from you!

Copper Vine has been open in downtown New Orleans for almost 4 years. Now we are expanding into Copper Vine Wine Pub & Inn!

We are adding event spaces, guest rooms, a club, rooftop lounge and three brand new kitchens! We are so excited! We are looking for people who want to be a part of this new growth opportunity. With new expansions there are always new challenges but we have a solid framework to work from. It has been a long journey to get us to where we are today and now we get to share it.

A little about the Coppervine Heart of House: Our kitchen culture is positive, professional and based in growth. We have no room for toxic egos or pretension. We want all of our leaders to be the head of a restaurant someday because we want to continue to expand. We believe in transparency in communication when things are good AND when there is room for improvement. We have created structure to help streamline operations and we continue to improve on a daily basis. Our services are precise, high volumed and fast paced.

Are you an experienced culinary manager with a results-oriented mindset? If so you may be a great candidate for our next PM Sous Chef position. We are looking for a skilled professional for our polished casual full-service concept. We want someone who can motivate, train, and develop our line-level kitchen staff.
