The term "sous chef" originates from the French language, where "sous" means "under" or "below." Therefore, the full form of "sous chef" translates to "under chef," indicating the role's position as the second-in-command in a kitchen, directly assisting the head chef. The sous chef is responsible for supervising kitchen staff, managing food preparation, and ensuring the quality of dishes.
