  • Maintain exceptional standards of cleanliness, sanitation, and DHEC compliance throughout all kitchen areas.

  • Ensure kitchen flow, organization, labeling, temperature logs, and storage systems are consistently followed.

  • Conduct routine walk-throughs to identify issues, implement solutions, and maintain a polished, guest-ready environment.

Team Leadership & Training

  • Support BOH staff through training, coaching, and daily supervision.

  • Help onboard new hires and reinforce performance expectations.

  • Foster a respectful, efficient, and accountable kitchen culture.

  • Assist with scheduling and communication to drive clear direction and coverage.

Quality, Consistency & Execution

  • Partner closely with the Chef de Cuisine to ensure all dishes meet Islander 71’s standards.

  • Maintain recipe accuracy, portioning, and presentation guidelines.

  • Assist in managing ticket times, expo flow, and communication with FOH teams.

Inventory, Ordering & Food Cost Support

  • Maintain accurate ordering, receiving, and rotation standards.

  • Assist with weekly/monthly inventory counts and help drive waste reduction.

  • Work with leadership to support food-cost goals, portion control, and product consistency.

Qualifications
  • 2–4+ years of experience as a Kitchen Manager, Sous Chef, or BOH leader in a high-volume restaurant.

  • Strong understanding of kitchen systems, cleanliness standards, and food safety.

  • Ability to lead with calmness, confidence, and professionalism.

  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.

  • Experience training teams in a fast-paced environment.

What We Offer
  • Competitive compensation and benefits

  • Strong leadership support and a positive team environment

  • Opportunities for growth within a high-performing hospitality group

  • A leadership role with direct influence on quality, consistency, and guest experience
