Kitchen Manager/Chef

Kitchen Manager – Salt Face Mule Brewing Co. About Us Salt Face Mule Brewing Co. is Asheville’s go‑to spot for mountain‑inspired brews and Appalachian soul food. We’re more than just a brewery; we’re a community hub that values Southern hospitality, fresh ingredients, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We are looking for a Kitchen Manager who can lead our culinary team with the same grit and heart we put into every pint. The Role As Kitchen Manager, you are the backbone of our food operations. You’ll oversee the daily execution of our menu, manage a fast‑paced back‑of‑house (BOH) team, and ensure every plate—from our signature mule burgers to our seasonal snacks—hits the table perfectly. You’ll balance culinary creativity with the operational discipline needed to run a profitable, clean, and efficient kitchen. What You’ll Do Lead the Team: Hire, train, and schedule BOH staff. Foster a positive, high‑energy culture where your team feels supported. Operations: Manage inventory, food ordering, and labor costs to meet budget goals. Quality Control: Maintain high standards for food prep, presentation, and taste consistency. Safety & Sanitation: Ensure the kitchen exceeds health department standards and safety protocols. Menu Collaboration: Work with the General Manager and Owners on seasonal specials and menu optimizations that pair perfectly with our beer list. What You Bring Experience: 3+ years in a kitchen leadership role (Kitchen Manager, Sous Chef, or Lead Line Cook) in a high‑volume environment. Leadership: A “lead‑from‑the‑front” attitude. You aren't afraid to jump on the line during a rush. Organization: Strong proficiency in inventory management, food costing, and scheduling software. Passion: A genuine love for Appalachian flavors and the craft beer industry. Certification: Current ServSafe Manager certification (or willingness to obtain). Perks Competitive salary based on experience. Deep discounts on meals and, of course, beer. A collaborative work environment where your voice and ideas actually matter. Salt Face Mule delivers on its promise of “honestly brewed” beer paired with Appalachian comfort food in a lively, inclusive setting. Whether you’re digging into creative Southern eats, sipping a craft pilsner, playing mini‑golf, or soaking up the dog‑ and kid‑friendly atmosphere, it’s a standout spot just north of Asheville. A great fit for casual hangouts, special events, or family & community nights. #J-18808-Ljbffr Workstream
