What is sauce chef?

If you mean sous chef, that's the top assistant chef in the kitchen, right below the top chef, called the executive chef. There is another position in the kitchen called the saute chef (saucier, in French) who is responsible for all the sauteed items including their sauces.


How many departments do you have in the kitchen?

I work in a kitchen at a large hotel in Chicago and in my kitchen there are 6 departments. There is the garde manger(cold foods) who prepare deli platters, cheese platters etc. saucier who make sauces and soups and in my hotel also cooks pasta, the butcher who breaks down meat and cuts deli meat, the vegetable room prepares all vegetables, hot side cooks, salad cooks. And then of course there are the pastry chefs and the restaurant chefs as well. Sincerely Kevin


Who is under the sous chef?

In a full kitchen brigade as set out by Escoffier, the Saucier is usually directly under the sous, as well the chef de partie reports to the sous chef, in a full kitchen brigade there are likely multiple chef de parties . However, full brigades are fairly uncommon in the modern age as are chef de partie, Sauciers have fared a little better but aren't nearly as common as they once were. In many smaller kitchens you aren't likely to see any position beneath sous other than line cook, though occasionally you'll see titles like lead line cook.


What are the different types of chefs?

In a restaurant you have a head chef, a sous chef as an assistant, possibly a pastry chef for desserts and sometimes many beginning chefs (commis) chef de partie (a supervisor of beginning chefs) or roundsmen (swing chefs). The saucier or saute chef helps make the sauces. You could possibly have a chef specialist for each type of meat and vegetables. Some kitchens have a garde manger who specializes in cold foods, salads and hors d'ouevres. At small local restaurants, you have short order chefs or cooks. Rich people may hire personal chefs.
