You take pride in making sure every food item reflects the quality and care our customers deserve. ________________________________________ What We’re Looking For: • Someone with 3+ years kitchen management or leadership experience (ideally in fast casual or full-service ) • Comfortable leading a team and holding people accountable, while still treating them with respect • A strong problem solver who can think fast and act smarter • Solid understanding of food prep, kitchen flow, and back-of-house operations • Customer-focused and quality-driven • Able to stay calm under pressure, shift gears quickly, and handle unexpected challenges • ServSafe certified (or willing to get it) • Comfortable with basic computer tasks – inventory systems, ordering, scheduling, maybe a little Excel or POS work • High school diploma or equivalent ________________________________________ • Flexible Scheduling ________________________________________ A Final Word: If you’re the type of person who takes ownership, shows up for your team, solves problems before they become disasters, and still has a sense of humor during the dinner rush — we want to talk.
