About Us We're not just another restaurant — we're a destination. We have built a legendary reputation for authentic, award-winning BBQ and scratch cooking. We pride ourselves on being a 100% Scratch Kitchen, using only the finest cuts of meat and freshest ingredients. Our menus are rooted in the traditions of Southern barbecue with flavors that give our dishes their own distinctive character.

The Opportunity As Kitchen Manager, you'll be a key leader in our kitchen operations, ensuring every plate that leaves the kitchen meets our high standards of quality and authenticity. You'll work alongside a talented culinary team in a fast-paced, high-energy environment where BBQ excellence is the standard.

What You'll Do

  • Oversee daily kitchen operations and ensure smooth service execution
  • Manage and mentor kitchen staff, fostering a positive and productive team culture
  • Maintain our commitment to scratch cooking and BBQ traditions
  • Ensure food quality, consistency, and presentation meet our brand standards at all times
  • Manage inventory, ordering, and cost controls
  • Maintain food safety and sanitation standards in compliance with health regulations
  • Collaborate with the management team on menu execution and special events
  • Train and develop kitchen team members on proper techniques and recipes
  • Monitor food waste and implement cost-saving measures
  • Handle high-volume service periods with efficiency and composure

What We're Looking For

  • 2–3+ years in kitchen management or a similar leadership role in high-volume restaurants
  • Knowledge of and appreciation for authentic BBQ and Southern cuisine
  • Experience with from-scratch preparation and cooking techniques
  • Proven ability to lead, train, and inspire kitchen teams
  • Commitment to maintaining high food quality and safety standards
  • Ability to thrive in a busy, fast-paced kitchen environment
  • Available to work nights, weekends, and holidays as needed
  • Quick-thinking problem-solver who handles kitchen challenges effectively

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Work in a 100% scratch kitchen environment with an iconic, award-winning brand
  • Growth and advancement opportunities
  • Employee dining benefits
  • Dynamic, high-energy work environment
  • The opportunity to be part of a passionate, dedicated culinary team
