About VUKA
VUKA Flame-Grilled Peri-Peri is a growing Afro-urban flame-grilled chicken concept focused on one thing: consistent, flavorful food done right every time.
We’re building a new kind of neighborhood restaurant — fast enough for delivery, grounded enough for loyalty.
Our kitchen is the heart of the brand. We run lean, precise, and disciplined.
If you thrive in an organized kitchen and enjoy leading by example, this role is for you.
Position Summary
The Kitchen Manager oversees all kitchen operations — prep, cooking, quality control, and team rhythm.
You’ll be hands-on in the line, maintaining consistency, coaching the team, and ensuring food quality matches brand standards every shift.
You’ll work closely with the owner and front-of-house leads to deliver a reliable, high-quality guest experience.
Responsibilities
- Lead and motivate kitchen staff to deliver consistent food quality and timing.
- Manage prep schedules, daily station setup, and closing checklists.
- Maintain accurate inventory, order supplies, and control food costs.
- Ensure strict adherence to food safety and cleanliness standards.
- Train and coach staff on recipes, portioning, and service speed.
- Collaborate with front-of-house and delivery partners to ensure smooth service flow.
- Monitor performance and identify opportunities for operational improvement.
Qualifications
- 2–3 years of experience as a Kitchen Manager , Lead Cook , or Assistant Kitchen Manager in a restaurant or fast-casual setting.
- Strong leadership and team management skills.
- Excellent organizational skills with a focus on efficiency and quality.
- Working knowledge of food safety (ServSafe certification preferred).
- Able to handle fast-paced environments calmly and consistently.
- Grill or peri-peri experience is a plus — but reliability and discipline matter most.
Benefits
- Competitive pay with growth potential.
- Performance-based bonuses.
- Staff meals every shift.
- Direct mentorship from the owner — no corporate layers.
- Opportunity to grow into a future General Manager role as the brand expands.
Why VUKA?
We believe in fewer choices, executed perfectly — not more chaos.
We design our systems for tired teams, not ideal ones .
That means predictable shifts, clear standards, and reliable rhythm.
If you’re the kind of leader who stays calm under pressure and takes pride in clean, steady execution — you’ll thrive here.
