Come cook, lead and learn together with us!
Lonnie's and Inga's are busy neighborhood joints in Boerum Hill and Brooklyn Heights. We're having fun and serving a seasonal, often-changing, well-sourced menu paired with natural wine and fantastic cocktails. Our top priority is taking care of a stellar staff in an employee-focused, healthy environment. This role is a perfect fit for a working sous chef who has experience on expo, someone thrilled by the challenges of a busy service who can inspire others to lean in, and a scratch cook passionate about simple food done extremely well.

There's tremendous potential for growth.
What we're looking for: Someone with kitchen managerial experience with similar cuisine who wants to work services, not just survive them. Full-time, and yes — you need weekend availability. A good attitude. We work hard and we laugh a lot. (Miserable people make crappy food.) Someone who wants to grow and is excited to teach. Our restaurants have low turnover and being chef-owned, we promote having a kitchen staff that feels taken care of long term.What you'll get: a staff we actually take care of, a kitchen that's organized instead of chaotic, and coworkers who are as into this as you are.
Send a resume and a real cover letter — tell us why Inga's, specifically. Not a form letter cut and paste, please. We read them!
Thanks — hope to hear from you. Be well!
