This role offers the chance to be part of a vibrant, hospitality-driven concept known for its lively atmosphere, scratch-made food, strong culture, and commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience. The Role The Culinary Manager will oversee all back-of-house operations while also acting as a key member of the overall management team by supporting front-of-house leadership during scheduled management shifts. This is a highly visible leadership role for someone who can balance kitchen execution, team development, cost controls, and daily operations while helping create a seamless experience for both guests and staff.

- Handle ordering, receiving, inventory, and product controls
- Manage food cost, labor cost, and kitchen budgets
- Maintain equipment and ensure the kitchen is operating efficiently
- Uphold recipe consistency, presentation standards, and food quality
- Ensure compliance with food safety, sanitation, and operational procedures
- Recruit, train, coach, and develop back-of-house team members
- Create a culture of accountability, urgency, professionalism, and teamwork
- Step into front-of-house management shifts as part of the leadership team
- Help direct service flow during busy periods
- Support service standards and guest satisfaction
- Maintain strong communication between front and back of house
- Partner with the leadership team to ensure smooth overall operations
- Previous experience in a Culinary Manager, Kitchen Manager, Executive Sous Chef, or similar leadership role
- Strong background in high-volume restaurant operations
- Experience with scheduling, ordering, inventory, labor management, and food cost controls
- Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop teams in a fast-paced environment
- Strong communication and organizational skills
- Solid knowledge of food safety and sanitation standards
- Professional, dependable, and results-driven mindset
- Open availability, including nights, weekends, and holidays
- Leads from the front and stays actively involved in the day-to-day operation
- Brings strong kitchen leadership with a team-first mentality
- Knows how to hold standards while keeping morale high
- Is comfortable working across both BOH and FOH leadership responsibilities
- Takes ownership, solves problems quickly, and thrives in a fast-moving environment
- Wants to grow with a strong restaurant team and make an immediate impact
Why This Role Stands Out This is more than just a kitchen leadership job - it is an opportunity to join a busy, team-oriented restaurant where strong leaders are valued, growth is encouraged, and great hospitality starts with great people.
