  • Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop BOH teams
  • Strong knowledge of food safety, sanitation, and kitchen standards
  • Experience managing food costs, labor, and inventory controls
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

Must Haves

  • Lead daily kitchen operations with a hands-on, shoulder-to-shoulder leadership style
  • Ensure consistent execution of menu items and uphold quality standards during peak service
  • Manage ordering, inventory, and vendor relationships to maintain cost targets
  • Train, coach, and develop kitchen staff while maintaining accountability and morale
  • Monitor prep, line readiness, and service flow to ensure smooth execution
  • Maintain cleanliness, organization, and adherence to health and safety standards

Kitchen Manager Preferred Background & Skills

  • Experience in high-volume, scratch kitchens
  • Strong tenure showing growth within reputable brands
  • Exposure to steakhouse or elevated grill concepts
  • Passion for team development and creating a positive kitchen culture
  • Ability to adapt quickly and remain calm under pressure
