Head Line Cook

Full-time

Blu Seafood Restaurant & Bar

Head Line Cook ( Kitchen Leader)

We are seeking a Head Line Cook who not only executes at a high level but takes ownership of the systems that make the kitchen run—inventory, training, scheduling, and standards.

This position is for a professional who understands that great kitchens are not built on talent alone—they are built on discipline, preparation, and leadership.

You will be responsible for protecting the integrity, efficiency, and readiness of the line at all times.

Core Responsibilities Service Execution & Line Leadership
  • Lead the kithen line with speed, precision, and consistency during all services

  • Ensure every dish meets recipe, quality, and presentation standards

  • Maintain full station readiness—proper prep, pars, and organization

  • Anticipate service demands and stay ahead of volume
  • Attend Weekly Manager's Meeting and Mandatory Monthly All Staff Meetings
Inventory & Product Control
  • Monitor and maintain accurate inventory levels

  • Conduct regular inventory counts

  • Communicate ordering needs to prevent shortages or overstock

  • Protect against waste, over-portioning, and product loss

Scheduling & Operational Support
  • Assist in building and managing kitchen schedules

  • Ensure proper staffing levels for expected volume

  • Support labor efficiency and operational discipline

Training & Team Development
  • Train new line cooks on station setup, execution, and standards

  • Reinforce systems, procedures, and expectations daily

  • Set the tone for professionalism, urgency, and accountability

  • Ensure consistency across all team members

Kitchen Organization & Standards
  • Maintain cleanliness, sanitation, and organization at all times

  • Enforce food safety and health department standards

  • Protect the structure and flow of the kitchen

Qualifications
  • 3+ years experience in a high-volume, full-service kitchen 

  • MUST have Food Handler's Certificate
  • Proven leadership ability on the line

  • Experience with inventory management and kitchen organization

  • Strong sense of urgency and accountability

  • Professional, dependable, and disciplined

  • Ability to train and lead others effectively

Who This Role Is For

This is for someone who sees problems before they happen.
Someone who understands that inventory controls profit.
That training controls consistency.
That scheduling controls stability.

This is for someone ready to step into leadership.

What We Offer
  • Competitive hourly compensation based on experience

  • Leadership growth opportunity

  • Stable, professional kitchen environment

  • A team committed to excellence

The Standard

Anyone can cook.
Very few can lead a kitchen station, develop people, and protect operational discipline.

We are looking for the latter.

Apply with resume and relevant experience.
