Our menus are rooted in the traditions of Southern barbecue with flavors that give our dishes their own distinctive character.

The Opportunity As Kitchen Manager, you'll be a key leader in our kitchen operations, ensuring every plate that leaves the kitchen meets our high standards of quality and authenticity.

  • Maintain our commitment to scratch cooking and BBQ traditions
  • Ensure food quality, consistency, and presentation meet our brand standards at all times
  • Manage inventory, ordering, and cost controls
  • Maintain food safety and sanitation standards in compliance with health regulations
  • Collaborate with the management team on menu execution and special events
  • Train and develop kitchen team members on proper techniques and recipes
  • Monitor food waste and implement cost-saving measures
  • Handle high-volume service periods with efficiency and composure

What We're Looking For

  • 2–3+ years in kitchen management or a similar leadership role in high-volume restaurants
  • Knowledge of and appreciation for authentic BBQ and Southern cuisine
  • Experience with from-scratch preparation and cooking techniques
  • Proven ability to lead, train, and inspire kitchen teams
  • Commitment to maintaining high food quality and safety standards
  • Ability to thrive in a busy, fast-paced kitchen environment
  • Available to work nights, weekends, and holidays as needed
  • Quick-thinking problem-solver who handles kitchen challenges effectively

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Work in a 100% scratch kitchen environment with an iconic, award-winning brand
  • Growth and advancement opportunities
  • Employee dining benefits
  • Dynamic, high-energy work environment
  • The opportunity to be part of a passionate, dedicated culinary team
