Snooze – Who Are We?

Morning people! Yes, we are those

people. We are a full-service breakfast restaurant, and we want each morning to

feel like your weekend and happy hour rolled into one — no matter which side of

noon it’s on. We’re the place where you can be you, and where our regulars are

anything but. Everyone’s welcome at our table because the same goes for our

people as it does for our dishes : the unexpected twists are what makes them so

special.

As a Snooze Head Chef, you are responsible for ensuring the

highest quality of food and standards in and out of the Heart of House (kitchen
