Kitchen Expeditor

Sibling Revelry Brewing

Kitchen Expeditor

The kitchen expeditor (or "expo") is the vital link between the kitchen line and front-of-house staff, responsible for ensuring food orders are prepared correctly, garnished, and served promptly. They act as "air traffic control," managing ticket times, coordinating the timing of dishes, and ensuring high-quality, accurate plates leave the kitchen.

Key Responsibilities

  • Reviewing incoming tickets, calling orders to the kitchen line, and communicating special requests or allergies.
  • Checking plates for proper presentation, temperature, and accuracy against the ticket, as well as adding final garnishes.
  • Ensuring all items for a table are finished simultaneously (firing items) and directing runners to take food to tables.
  • Communicating with service staff regarding ticket times and informing them of 86'd (out-of-stock) items.

Essential Skills & Qualifications

  • Previous experience in food prep or service is usually required.
  • Ability to manage multiple orders and priorities simultaneously.
  • Clear, assertive, and effective communication to connect kitchen staff and servers.
  • A meticulous eye for food quality and presentation.

Equal Opportunity Employer This employer is required to notify all applicants of their rights pursuant to federal employment laws. For further information, please review the Know Your Rights notice from the Department of Labor.
