Job Description

KITCHEN MANAGER | ZOLI’S NY PIZZA ADDISON

Big slices. Big personality. Even bigger opportunity.

Zoli’s NY Pizza in Addison is looking for a Kitchen Manager who can lead a crew, run a tight kitchen, and keep the food coming out hot, consistent, and ridiculously good.

Zoli’s isn’t your average pizza joint, and we’re definitely not looking for an average kitchen leader.

As part of PILF Restaurant Group, we’re a little weird, very pizza-obsessed, and serious about developing great people.

Our restaurant family includes Zoli’s NY Pizza, Cane Rosso, Thunderbird Pies, and more.

We want a Kitchen Manager who can bring the energy, own the operation, develop their people, and still jump on the line when things get wild.

If you know kitchens, know people, and know how to get $#%! done, keep reading.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Lead, coach, train, and develop the Zoli’s BOH crew
• Build a kitchen culture people want to work in
• Keep food quality and consistency ridiculously high
• Own food cost, inventory, ordering, rotation, and waste
• Manage labor and scheduling based on business needs
• Conduct line checks, prep checks, and quality checks
• Maintain a clean, organized, food-safe kitchen
• Hire and onboard new BOH team members
• Identify and develop future kitchen leaders
• Coach performance, recognize great work, and hold the team accountable
• Work alongside the General Manager to drive restaurant performance
• Jump in wherever needed because nobody at Zoli’s is too important to get their hands dirty

YOU’LL PROBABLY LOVE THIS JOB IF...

• You have Kitchen Manager, Sous Chef, AKM, Chef, or similar leadership experience
• You love restaurants and the controlled chaos that comes with them
• You know your food cost from your labor cost
• You can coach someone without crushing their spirit
• You believe standards matter, even during a Saturday night rush
• You’re organized enough to manage inventory and prep but flexible enough to handle whatever the restaurant throws at you
• You want to develop people, not just supervise them
• You have or can obtain ServSafe certification
• You’re available nights, weekends, and holidays when needed

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

• Competitive salary
• Quarterly bonus opportunities
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off
• Employee meal discounts
• Leadership training and development
• Opportunities to move up within PILF Restaurant Group
• A company that believes in promoting from within
• A leadership team that actually wants to see you succeed
• Enough pizza to ruin mediocre pizza for you forever

WHY ZOLI’S + PILF?

Because restaurant jobs should be challenging and fun.

We work hard. We move fast. We hold each other accountable. We laugh a lot. And we believe the best restaurants are built by great teams with leaders who give a damn.

We’ve had countless leaders grow their careers within PILF, and we’re always looking for the next person ready to step up.

So if you’re looking for another job where you clock in, survive the shift, and go home...

This probably isn’t it.

But if you want to build a killer kitchen team, make some badass food, and grow with a restaurant group that isn’t afraid to have a little personality...

We definitely need to talk.

Apply today and come run the kitchen at Zoli’s Addison.
