Job Description

Kitchen Manager | High-Volume Casual Dining | Orange, CT

Great food does not happen by accident. It requires a Kitchen Manager who understands that consistency, rigorous standards, and strong team leadership are the foundation of a successful restaurant.

We are partnering with a highly respected, family-friendly BBQ concept in Orange, CT, to find a Kitchen Manager who leads from the front. This is a brand built on serving the community, preparing fresh food from scratch, and fostering a culture of operational excellence. They need a leader for the heart of the house—someone who understands that protecting the guest experience starts with what happens on the line.

What You Will Do

As the Kitchen Manager, you will set the pace for the shift and take full ownership of back-of-house operations. Your responsibilities will include:

Driving Operational Standards: Execute thorough line checks to ensure every plate meets strict quality and temperature standards.
Inventory and Prep Management: Manage the menu and daily prep so the kitchen constantly delivers fresh product without running out or driving up waste.
Team Development: Coach, train, and mentor your team. You will build a culture of accountability and high performance in the kitchen.

Who You Are

Detail-Oriented: You see what others miss and refuse to compromise on food quality or kitchen cleanliness.
Operationally Driven: You understand the reality of a high-volume kitchen and know how to keep a team focused during a rush.
A Natural Leader: You are passionate about producing great food and equally passionate about teaching others how to do the same.

The Benefits

This concept believes in taking care of the people who take care of the operation. The compensation package includes:

Competitive base pay
Flexible scheduling
Closed on major holidays (a rare find in this industry)
Medical and Dental Insurance (for eligible team members)
401(k) plan
Free shift meals and dining discounts
Ongoing training and clear opportunities for career advancement
Meaningful opportunities to give back to the local community

If you are a kitchen leader who knows how to run a clean, efficient, and positive back-of-house operation, we want to speak with you. Submit your resume today.
