Kitchen Lead

Buckley's Family Adventure

Description:

Build a kitchen from zero.

Buckleys Family Adventure opens this fall in Woodland Hills 25,000 square feet of go-karts, laser tag, arcade, and a from-scratch kitchen that hasnt cooked its first ticket yet. Theres no existing standard to inherit here. Whoever takes this job sets it.

Who were looking for

Honestly? Somewhere between Mister Rogers and Anthony Bourdain.

The Mister Rogers half: you actually care about the people on your line. You develop them. Youre the reason a nineteen-year-old prep cook decides to stay in this industry.

The Bourdain half: you have real, unembarrassed pride in the food. You care that the third order of the night looks exactly like the first. Youd rather remake it than send it.

What youll actually do

Run a high-volume kitchen calmly under pressure. Hold food safety and consistency to a standard nobody has to check behind you on. Build the prep systems, par levels, and opening and closing checklists from scratch. Hire, train, and develop your own team. Work directly with our GM on menu execution and cost.

Requirements

ServSafe Manager certification current, or obtainable before your start date. Well cover the cost.

Real experience running a high-volume kitchen or leading a line

Comfortable with allergen protocols in a kitchen that serves a lot of kids

Available nights, weekends, and holidays

Our kitchen is pork-free and shellfish-free. Family entertainment center volume is spiky dead at 2 PM, slammed at 6:30. If youve worked events, stadiums, or high-volume casual, you know the rhythm.

The honest part

This is a first location. The equipment is brand new and will occasionally be uncooperative. The menu will change in the first six months because well learn things. Youll be building the plane somewhat in flight. Thats either the appeal or the dealbreaker, and wed rather you decide which right now.

What we offer

$24.00/hour Free meal every shift up to $25 4 Adventure Passes a month 40 hours PTO annually (90-day wait, 80-hour cap) California paid sick leave 1.5x holiday pay Your birthday off, paid $20/paycheck cell phone allowance $20/paycheck uniform allowance Up to $250/year toward your development

How to apply

Apply at the link. Serious candidates will be invited to cook a paid two-hour working interview in our kitchen.

Requirements:

ServSafe Manager certification current, or obtainable before your start date. Well cover the cost.

Real experience running a high-volume kitchen or leading a line
