Job details

We're looking for a hands-on kitchen leader who understands that running a kitchen is about more than cooking, it's about profitability, systems, and consistency.

This role is for someone who can own food cost, control waste, execute catering, and lead a team, not just work a line.

?? What You'll Own:

Food cost management & hitting target percentages

Portion control and recipe consistency (no freelancing)

Inventory, ordering, and waste reduction

Catering production & execution

Prep systems and kitchen organization

Leading and holding cooks accountable

Working the line when needed—this is a working leadership role

?? What Success Looks Like:

Consistent plate quality and speed

Controlled food cost and minimal waste

Catering orders executed accurately and profitably

A kitchen that runs smoothly without constant oversight

? What We're Looking For:

Proven experience managing a kitchen (not just cooking in one)

Strong understanding of food cost, inventory, and margins

Leadership presence—your team respects you and follows your lead

Reliable and accountable—this is a key leadership position

Ability to stay composed and decisive during high-volume service

?? Compensation:

$50,000 – $60,000 salary (based on experience)

Growth opportunity with an expanding brand

?? Read This First:

If you're looking to just cook and go home, this isn't the job.

If you take pride in running a tight, efficient, and profitable kitchen, we want to talk.
