Junior Sous Chef

**About Sifted**

Sifted was founded in 2015 by **Kimberly Lexow and Jess Legge with a bold vision — to reimagine office food as an experience rooted in hospitality, sustainability, and intentionality**.

What began as a modern take on workplace meals quickly evolved into a **nationwide food platform that supports culture, community, and carbon-conscious choices across hundreds of companies. We’re not a caterer — we’re a workplace food partner**.

Our team is our secret sauce — a mix of **hospitality pros, culinary experts, technologists, and innovators redefining what it means to build meaningful, stable, and opportunity-filled careers in hospitality. At Sifted, people stay, grow, and thrive — our team members remain with us three times longer than the industry average.**

We offer **flexibility, generous perks, and room to grow** — hiring builders, operators, creatives, and craftspeople who care about making work (and workplaces) better.

At Sifted, our team culture mirrors the experiences we design for our clients:

• **Creative Freedom:** Everyone contributes ideas and shapes the future of our service.
• **Hospitality-Driven:** No matter your role, you’re in service to someone — and that matters.
• **Career Growth:** We invest in internal mobility, mentorship, and hands-on learning.
• **People First:** We support flexible work, celebrate wins, and lead with empathy.
• **Real Impact:** Every day, your work reduces waste, improves lives, and connects people through food.

If you’re passionate about great food, great people, and great purpose — **we’d love to meet you.**
