Two Ways:
Get a Masters in Business and schmooze the echelon of the company you work for.
and / or
One normally inheirits it when the Executive Chef retires or quits providing one has the business sense to do so. Some soux chefs actually step down from Executive Chef position to have more hands on control of the kitchen and to give someone else (usually their soux chef) a chance to make a name for themselves.
It depends on the circumstance. If the sous-chef outranks you, it is not necessarily wrong to address them as "Chef". Usually the title is reserved for the Executive Chef or Head Chef, and addressing one of their subordinates as "Chef" in their presence could be perceived as an insult. It depends on the kitchen dynamic (formal/informal), and the ego of the chefs you work with! If the Sous Chef is taking over due to the Executive Chef being absent then calling him/her "Chef" is acceptable. * I would always address my Sous Chef as chef. There can be more than one person called Chef in a kitchen. Chefs due call each other Chef in a working situation. But I also agree with the above that it greatly depends on the kitchen dynamic. And the egos!
There's an Executive Chef, Head Chef, Sous Chef, Pastry Chef, Chef de Partie (Station Chef), and Garde Manger (pantry chef).
hi what thas this word mean hi what thas this word mean
sous of chef
Sous chef usually work more hours then the executive chef. They take over all the dirty shifts and work the longest. Hours are around 60-80 hours weekly in a busy facility.
you will move up a rank in the kitchen e.g basic ranking is APPRENTICE>COMMIS>1ST COMMIS>2ND>3RD>DEMI CHEF DE-PARTIE> CHEF DE-PARTIE>SENIOR CHEF DE-PARTIE>JUNIOR SOUS CHEF>SOUS CHEF>SENIOR SOUS CHEF>EXECUTIVE SOUS CHEF> CHEF DE CUISINE>HEAD CHEF>EXECUTIVE HEAD CHEF
The second chef is more commonly known as the Sous Chef, french for second chef. Basically, the Sous Chef is second in charge of the kitchen brigade of chefs and apprentices. The Head or Executive Chef is the person in charge. A kitchen can have more than one Sous Chef; in larger restaurants, there could be 5 or more Sous Chefs, in which case there could be an Executive Sous Chef. This position would be responsible for managing the Sous Chefs. The Executive Sous Chef is also answerable to the Executive or Head Chef of the Restaurant.
A "Sous Chef" answers directly to and assists the Head Chef or Executive Chef of a usually smaller restaurant. When you start getting into large hotels, resorts and what have you, there can easily be upwards of 5, 7, 10 restaurants on the premises. Each restaurant might possibly have there own "Chef de Cuisine" who in turn would have a "Sous Chef" under them specific for that restaurant. Depending on the amount of volume a hotel or resort may have, there could only be a "Sous Chef" under the Executive Chef to run an individual restaurant. Now.... The Difference between the "Executive Sous Chef" and a regular "Sous Chef" Is when there is a huge hotel or resort with say, 6 restaurants on site, There will only be ONE HOTEL Executive Chef who is in charge of all food operations underneath the Food and Beverage Director. The Hotel/Resort Executive Chef Will have an "Executive Sous Chef" as his DIRECT assistant. He does not answer to Restaurant Executive Chefs but they may take orders from him and so on down the chain of command. "Sous Chef" will take orders from........ Food and Beverage Director>Hotel/Resort Executive Chef>Executive Sous Chef>Restaurant Executive Chef (Chef de Cuisine)>Sous Chef>Kitchen Lead/Manager>Cook 1>2>3.... ect. Hope this makes sense to everyone!!!

It means under, so it means under chef because typically the sous chef works directly under the executive chef who runs the kitchen.
