What is the difference between a Sous Chef and a Commis Chef?
A Commis Chef is at the start of their culinary journey, learning fundamental techniques, honing their skills, and gaining hands-on experience in a fast-paced kitchen.
A Sous Chef, on the other hand, is a leader—overseeing kitchen operations, mentoring junior chefs, and ensuring every dish meets the highest standards.
Both roles are essential to a successful kitchen, and at Accor, we offer opportunities for passionate individuals at every stage of their career.
