  • Mentor & Train: Lead the orientation and development of new kitchen talent, teaching them the "Back A Yard" way of cooking and safety.
  • Master Operations: Take charge of food purchasing, inventory control, and waste management to drive profitability.
  • Ensure a Safe Workspace: Maintain a five-star level of cleanliness and equipment care through proactive inspections and safety training.
  • Innovate: Use your culinary expertise and eye for detail to keep our kitchen efficient and our guests happy.
What You Bring to the Table

  • Leadership Skills: A strong ability to communicate clearly with managers, kitchen staff, and guests alike.
