Assistant Kitchen Manager

Sharko's BBQ

Job Description

Job Description

Do you thrive in a fast-paced kitchen with food made from scratch? Can you lead a team, and still crack a joke during the dinner rush? If you’re passionate about food, leadership, and keeping a kitchen running smoothly, we want YOU as our next Assistant Kitchen Manager!

 

Who We Are:

We’re all about great food, great service, and a kitchen that runs like a well-oiled (but not greasy) machine. Our team is dedicated to delivering top-quality dishes while creating a positive and efficient work environment. We believe in teamwork, hard work, and a little bit of kitchen banter to keep things fun.

 

What You’ll Do:

• Support the Kitchen Manager – Help oversee kitchen operations, manage staff, and ensure everything runs smoothly.

• Lead by example – Jump on the line, expedite when needed, and set the standard for quality and efficiency.

• Ensure top-notch food quality – Make sure every plate that leaves the kitchen meets our standards.

• Train and mentor the team – Help new hires learn the ropes and keep the crew motivated.

• Stay organized and problem-solve – Keep inventory in check, manage prep lists, and tackle any issues that come your way.

• Maintain health and safety standards – A clean and safe kitchen is a happy kitchen.

 

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong leadership skills and a team-first mentality.

• Experience in a high-volume kitchen environment.

• Ability to handle pressure and keep things moving during peak hours.

• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

• A passion for food and a commitment to quality.

• Previous kitchen management or supervisory experience preferred.

 

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• A dynamic, fast-paced work environment where no two days are the same.

• Competitive pay plus potential for bonuses.

• Flexible scheduling to fit your life.

• Free or discounted meals—because good food should be part of the job.

• Opportunities for growth and advancement.

 

If you’re ready to take the next step in your culinary career and help lead a kitchen that delivers great food and even better teamwork, apply today! Let’s cook up something amazing together.
