Hire, train, schedule, and supervise the kitchen team, fostering a positive, high-performance culture. Maintain the highest standards of food quality, presentation, and consistency across every shift. Ensure full compliance with sanitation, health, and safety regulations, including a current food-handler certification. Oversee kitchen equipment maintenance, cleanliness, and energy conservation. Represent the restaurant at press, community, and charity events as time allows.
