Job Description

Kitchen Manager – Mellow Mushroom (Jacksonville, FL)

$58,000–$65,000/year + Quarterly Bonus Program

Run the kitchen. Rule the dough. Stay Mellow.

Since 1974, Mellow Mushroom has been slinging stone-baked pies with a heavy dose of good vibes — and our five Jacksonville shops ( Avondale, Southside, Beach, Fleming Island, and River City ) are keeping that freaky-fresh tradition alive. We're a locally owned and operated crew — decisions get made close to our restaurants, by people invested in our team and our communities — and we're on the hunt for a Kitchen Manager who can run a tight ship and keep the energy groovy.

If you believe a kitchen can be both dialed-in and a genuinely fun place to work — and that great pizza is a form of art — keep reading.

The good stuff (a.k.a. what's in it for you)

• Top-of-market pay: $58,000–$65,000 — the best Kitchen Manager money in the Jacksonville pizza scene, and it goes toe-to-toe with the big chains
• Quarterly bonus program — when the shop wins, you win
• Health, dental, vision, and life insurance — we take care of our people
• 401(k) — future you says thanks
• Great PTO — mellow isn't just in our name; go recharge
• Discounted food (yes, that includes the pizza)
• Real growth — We hire good people, train them right, and promote from within. With five stores and climbing, your path to GM and above isn't a poster on the wall — it's a plan
• Leadership that actually answers the phone — Our mission is to provide a unique and extraordinary experience for all. That starts with our own team: you'll work directly with a locally led GM and ops crew who know your name, know your store, and are there to support you on the journey

Your mission, should you choose to accept it

• Own the back of house: killer food quality, fast ticket times, and a kitchen so clean the health inspector gets bored
• Build a team you're proud of — train every new hire yourself, cross-train every station, and turn your rock stars into future leaders
• Run ordering, inventory, and food cost like a pro (we hand you the tools and the numbers — no guesswork)
• Set the vibe. Hard work and good times aren't opposites here — the best kitchens have both, and it starts with you

You might be our people if...

• You've got 2+ years running a kitchen or leading a BOH crew (high-volume or scratch kitchen? even better)
• You're ServSafe certified — or ready to be (we'll help you get there)
• You're a coach, and a leader — you build people up and hold the standard
• Schedules, orders, and food cost numbers don't scare you; you eat spreadsheets for breakfast (with the pizza)
• You take pride in your craft and your kitchen shows it
