Are you a culinary-trained professional ready to step into leadership?

About the Role

As a Manager in Training, you'll work alongside experienced food service leaders across all areas of our operations — from kitchen production and menu development to staff supervision and client relations. Our structured, 90–180 day rotational program is designed to fast-track your growth from culinary professional to confident manager.

This is a full-time position operating during the school year, giving you a consistent, predictable schedule aligned with our educational food service accounts.

What You'll Do

Kitchen & Operations

• Lead and assist in daily meal production, following established menus and quality standards

• Rotate through all kitchen and service stations to master every aspect of operations

• Ensure food safety, HACCP compliance, and ServSafe standards are upheld at all times

Team Leadership

• Shadow managers in scheduling, coaching, and directing kitchen and front-of-house staff

• Run pre-shift meetings and help onboard new team members

• Build a positive, collaborative team culture every day

Culinary Creativity

• Collaborate on seasonal menus and new recipe development

• Bring fresh ideas that reflect current food trends and meet client needs

• Support themed events and special dining experiences

Business & Client Relations

• Learn food and labor cost management to hit budgetary goals

• Assist with ordering, inventory, and vendor coordination

• Build strong relationships with on-site client contacts and respond to their feedback

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• Associate's or bachelor's degree in Culinary Arts or Hospitality Management — preferred

• 1–2 years of experience in a food service or restaurant setting

• A natural leader who's eager to learn and grow

• Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude

• ServSafe certification (or ability to obtain within 30 days)
