About the Role

As the Kitchen Manager, you're the commander of the cooks! Keeping the energy high, the service smooth, and the vibe unmistakably Ian's. You'll work with the GM and AGM to make sure your kitchen crew has the training, tools, and support they need to crush every shift. You'll also work Cook and Shift Lead shifts in addition to your management duties.

A big part of your gig is training and developing your team on-shift. You'll be the lead trainer for the kitchen: showing staff the ropes, giving helpful feedback, and running quarterly reviews. There's also the behind-the-scenes work: meetings, responding to messages, tackling projects, and working with leadership to make the kitchen runs smoothly.

What You'll Bring to the Manager Team

• 1+ years of supervisory experience in the food and beverage industry. Kitchen specific experience required.
• Embrace and embody the 2030 Vision, Company Values, Ian's Standards for Customer Service, Food Quality, and the Big Five.
• Must complete a food safety certification course within 6 months.
• Able to stand, walk, be on your feet for long periods of time.
• Able to lift up to 50lbs regularly.
• Able to tolerate touching and being around allergens such as gluten, dairy, eggs, etc.
• Comfortable using ovens, knives, kitchen tools, and other equipment of the restaurant biz.
• Comfortable working in environments with varying temperatures.
• Comfortable working and communicating in loud, fast-paced working environments.
• Must be 18+ years old to apply.
• Authorized to work in the U.S. (IDs required at Orientation).
• Reliable transportation to and from the restaurant for a variety of shift times, including mornings, afternoons, and nights.
• Bilingual in Spanish is a major plus!

Kitchen Manager Scheduling

Working 35-40 hours, you'll split your time between the floor (30-35 hours/week) and admin tasks (5-10 hours/week). Any time over 40 is paid as overtime. Your schedule will drop monthly, so you can plan your life and your pizza intake accordingly!

You'll work a variety of shifts: opening, dinner, closes, weekdays, weekends, and manager on duty. Late nights (10pm-4am) are required once per week at State St and Frances St locations.

The action happens on evenings and weekends! The ovens are roaring, the line's bumping, so we'll need you in the mix. You'll work with the rest of the managers to handle emergencies and jump in when coverage is needed.
