Kitchen Manager
Full-time
Salt Face Mule
Job Overview
Kitchen Manager – Salt Face Mule Brewing Co.
About Us:
Salt Face Mule Brewing Co. is Asheville’s go-to spot for mountain-inspired brews and Appalachian soul food. We’re more than just a brewery; we’re a community hub that values Southern hospitality, fresh ingredients, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We are looking for a Kitchen Manager who can lead our culinary team with the same grit and heart we put into every pint.
The Role:
As Kitchen Manager, you are the backbone of our food operations. You’ll oversee the daily execution of our menu, manage a fast-paced back-of-house (BOH) team, and ensure every plate—from our signature mule burgers to our seasonal snacks—hits the table perfectly. You’ll balance culinary creativity with the operational discipline needed to run a profitable, clean, and efficient kitchen.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead the Team: Hire, train, and schedule BOH staff. Foster a positive, high-energy culture where your team feels supported.
- Operations: Manage inventory, food ordering, and labor costs to meet budget goals.
- Quality Control: Maintain high standards for food prep, presentation, and taste consistency.
- Safety & Sanitation: Ensure the kitchen exceeds health department standards and safety protocols.
- Menu Collaboration: Work with the General Manager and Owners on seasonal specials and menu optimizations that pair perfectly with our beer list.
What You Bring:
- Experience: 2+ years in a kitchen leadership role (Kitchen Manager, Sous Chef, or Lead Line Cook) in a high-volume environment.
- Leadership: A "lead-from-the-front" attitude. You aren't afraid to jump on the line during a rush.
- Organization: Strong proficiency in inventory management, food costing, and scheduling software.
- Passion: A genuine love for Appalachian flavors and the craft beer industry.
- Certification: Current ServSafe Manager certification (or willingness to obtain).
Perks:
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Performance-based bonuses.
- Deep discounts on meals and, of course, beer.
- A collaborative work environment where your voice and ideas actually matter.
