Also are knowledgeable about how the kitchen should be run if they would need to take over for the executive in case of absence/vacation or when they are off-duty.

Sous ("below" or "reporting to" in French) means that he has to consult with somebody else to resolve a problem.
Go right to the top i.e. address somebody whose title doesn't have "sous" in it.
