Sous Chef
Turn your existing restaurant into one additional delivery brand.
Brand, menu, recipes, prep instructions, cost estimates, photography and storefront setup from Sous Chef. Your kitchen, your team and your equipment do the cooking. You see the operating requirements and estimated economics before you commit.
01 / How It Works
Sous Chef gives you one more restaurant to sell from it: one delivery-first brand, matched to the kitchen you already run, cooked by your existing team on your existing equipment.
Prep ahead → cook to order → combine → finish with acid and aromatics → package for the ride.
02 / The Brands
Every brand has four mains and two sides and is built for one type of host restaurant. A restaurant starts with one brand; together the seven form a portfolio for delivery platforms.
Four serious LA burritos.
Charred carne asada, adobo al pastor, verde chile chicken and a California burrito with crispy potatoes and avocado: every burrito built on salt, acid, char, crunch and heat, and rolled tight for the ride.
Mains $10 · sides $3
9 wings for $10.
One standard fry, a fast pan finish and four sauces that taste nothing alike: Lucky Hot, Orange Fire, Sichuan Jackpot and Korean Fire. Crispy, glossy, sharp and packed straight away.
9 wings $10 · sides $3
Fast, vegetable-forward Asian noodles.
Wok-tossed noodles built on soy, black vinegar, chili-garlic oil, ginger and scallion, seared hard and packed straight away.
Mains $10 · sides $3
All-day breakfast.
Egg sandwiches, a breakfast burrito and a green chile bowl, cooked to order on the griddle with the acid, heat and crunch most breakfast food is missing.
Mains $10 · sides $3
Fresh rice bowls.
Hot glazed protein and seasoned rice under cold, crunchy, dressed vegetables: every bowl is hot and cold at once.
Mains $10 · sides $3
Big, hot, simple sandwiches built for delivery.
Toasted subs with hot fillings, sharp mustard, real pickles and hot pepper relish. Rich, then sharp, then crunchy.
Mains $10 · sides $3
Vietnamese-inspired breakfast and lunch sandwiches.
Lemongrass pork and chicken, egg bánh mì and strong Vietnamese iced coffee: crackling bread, rich fillings, sharp vegetables, cold herbs and chile.
Mains $10 · sides $3
04 / Packaging
Custom packaging is not required at launch. Use high-quality generic delivery packaging. No Sous Chef stickers are required at launch. The photographs show each brand's packaging direction.
Generic packaging at launch. Branded packaging when the brand is ready.
05 / Food
Every dish is balanced for salt, acid, fat, umami, sweetness, heat, texture and aroma: fine-dining flavor discipline with ordinary restaurant ingredients. Chile, citrus, vinegar, garlic, ginger and fresh herbs do the work.
06 / The Operating Model
Each restaurant starts with one Sous Chef brand, matched to the kind of kitchen it already is. One brand keeps training, inventory, prep, packaging and quality control simple, and gets a restaurant live faster.
