Kitchen / BOH Operations Manager | $46k-56k +Bonuses

Kitchen Managers Who Are Done Living On The Line? If you’ve spent years running a busy line, getting promised raises and “next promotion” talks that never happen… and you’re ready to actually run a kitchen instead of just surviving it, this is for you. About Us Top Shooters in Columbia, IL is a high-energy, high-volume sports bar and restaurant with a loyal local crowd and 50k+ followers who show up on game day. We do the kind of volume that competes with well-known franchise restaurants, but we’ve kept the heart and feel of a locally owned business. At Top Shooters, we’re more than a place that says we promote a positive culture. We work hard to actually live it. No role here is too small to have a voice. Our ownership and management team emphasize collaboration, accountability, and follow-through. When we make a promise to our team, we take it seriously. We’re hiring a Kitchen / BOH Operations Manager To own the back‑of‑house systems, people, and performance. This is a leadership role first and a “jump on the line when it’s crazy” role second.
