Jim 'N Nick's

Own the Back of House

  • Run effective shifts across the whole kitchen: pit, line, prep, and dish
  • Coach and develop assistant managers and team members on food quality, safety, sanitation, and standards
  • Manage BOH budgets, forecasting, inventory, and cost controls, and teach your assistants to do the same

  • Interview and hire to keep the kitchen staffed with people who have real fire
  • Set and communicate goals with the General Manager and Local Owner
  • Keep the kitchen clean, stocked, safe, and ready, because Bar-B-Q is a job that's never truly finished
This Is Who You Are
  • 2+ years of kitchen management experience in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
  • Scratch-kitchen experience strongly preferred; scratch-kitchen pride required
  • A teacher and a standard-setter: your kitchen runs your way even when you're off
  • Disciplined with numbers: food cost, labor, waste, and inventory
  • Calm, clear, and candid when the board is full
  • High school diploma or GED required
