New Day Executive Search

Now Hiring: Kitchen Manager (Sous Chef / Kitchen Manager)

Are you passionate about chef-driven, scratch-made cuisine rooted in bold flavors and seasonal ingredients? This one-of-a-kind concept—born from the owner's time in Miami and brought to life with locally sourced products—is looking for a hands-on BOH leader who thrives in a collaborative, team-first environment.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work across two locations, splitting your week between them, and playing a key role in maintaining consistency, culture, and culinary excellence across both kitchens.

What You'll Get as a Kitchen Manager

  • $55K–$60K base salary
  • Bonus opportunities
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Growth within a chef-driven, expanding restaurant group
  • The chance to work closely with a creative, passionate culinary team

What You'll Do as a Kitchen Manager

  • Lead day-to-day back-of-house operations across two locations
  • Ensure consistency, quality, and execution of scratch-made menu items
  • Collaborate with culinary leadership on menu execution and innovation
  • Coach, develop, and support kitchen teams in a positive, team-first environment
  • Maintain high standards for food safety, cleanliness, and organization
  • Step into front-of-house support when needed to ensure seamless service
  • Act as a culture carrier—bringing energy, humility, and accountability to both teams

What We're Looking for in a Kitchen Manager

  • A humble, hands-on leader who leads by example and leaves ego at the door
  • Passion for scratch cooking, fresh ingredients, and hospitality
  • Strong communicator who can work effectively across teams and locations
  • Flexible and adaptable, with the ability to balance priorities between two kitchens

Requirements for a Kitchen Manager

  • 2–4 years of BOH leadership experience (Sous Chef, Kitchen Manager, or similar)
  • Willingness to split time between two locations weekly
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
  • Basic Spanish skills a MUST (for kitchen communication)
  • Ability to support both BOH and FOH operations as needed

Why This Role as a Kitchen Manager

This is more than just a kitchen job—it's an opportunity to be part of a growing, chef-driven concept where your voice matters, your leadership makes an impact, and your passion for food is celebrated.

If you're ready to lead with purpose, cook with passion, and grow with a dynamic team—we want to hear from you.
