Kitchen Manager | High-Volume Fast-Casual Beach Concept

Long Beach Island, NJ

A fast-paced, seasonal high-volume food concept in Long Beach Island is seeking an experienced Kitchen Manager to oversee back-of-house operations, ensure consistent food quality, and lead a strong, efficient kitchen team in a high-demand coastal environment.

This role is responsible for managing all kitchen operations including prep, production, line execution, inventory control, and food safety standards. The ideal candidate has strong leadership skills, thrives in high-volume seasonal service, and brings hands-on experience with dough-based or hand-held food production such as empanadas, pastries, or similar items.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Oversee daily BOH operations including prep, line execution, and production flow

  • Lead, train, and manage kitchen staff to ensure consistency and efficiency

  • Maintain quality control, portion standards, and recipe execution

  • Manage inventory, ordering, receiving, and vendor coordination

  • Control food costs, labor efficiency, and waste reduction

  • Ensure compliance with all health, safety, and sanitation regulations

  • Support scheduling, staffing, and peak-season labor planning

  • Maintain clean, organized, and efficient kitchen operations

  • Collaborate with ownership/FOH to ensure smooth service execution

Qualifications:

  • 2–5+ years of kitchen management experience in high-volume restaurants

  • Strong background in fast-casual, scratch kitchen, or handheld food concepts

  • Experience with dough handling or production-based cooking strongly preferred

  • Ability to lead teams in a fast-paced, seasonal environment

  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills

  • ServSafe certification preferred

  • Flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and peak summer operations

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on kitchen leader who enjoys fast-paced beach-season volume, building strong teams, and maintaining consistent quality in a high-energy environment.
