$55k - $65k

Gecko Hospitality

Job Title: Kitchen Manager


Location: Baton Rouge, LA


Salary: $55,000 - $65,000/year (DOE)

What We're Looking For:

We are seeking an experienced Kitchen Manager to lead back-of-house operations for a well-established, locally owned full-service restaurant group with multiple locations across Louisiana. This is a hands-on culinary leadership role in a high-volume, scratch-kitchen environment known for regional Cajun and Creole cuisine and a loyal local guest following.

The ideal candidate has back-of-house management experience in full-service dining, is comfortable working the line during peak volume, and is passionate about developing culinary teams while holding a consistent standard for quality and food safety.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead daily back-of-house operations across all meal periods.
  • Ensure consistent food quality, presentation, portioning, and ticket times.
  • Hire, train, coach, and develop kitchen team members and shift leads.
  • Manage kitchen scheduling to meet volume demands and labor budget targets.
  • Maintain the highest standards of food safety, sanitation, and kitchen cleanliness.
  • Monitor food cost, inventory, ordering, receiving, and waste reduction.
  • Uphold standardized recipes and prep procedures for consistency and cost control.
  • Partner with front-of-house leadership to ensure smooth service flow at the pass.
  • Support catering, private dining, and special event production as needed.
  • Maintain equipment care, preventative maintenance, and a safe working environment.
