Why Join the Back A Yard Team?

Back A Yard Caribbean Grill is more than just a restaurant; we are a successful brand with locations across Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and San Jose. We are looking for a Kitchen Manager who doesn't just want a job, but wants to "own" their kitchen. If you are a self-starter who is motivated by excellence and ready to support a high-performing team, we want to hear from you!

The Opportunity: Growth & Leadership

  • Starting Location: Based out of our Catering Facility on 13th St. to start.
  • Growth Potential: Opportunity to grow with the company as you build knowledge in the role.
  • Competitive Pay: $20.00 – $25.00 per hour, based on experience.
  • True Ownership: Serve as the primary leader overseeing kitchen operations.
  • Creative Freedom: Opportunity to create daily specials and present them to the team.

Schedule & Hours

  • Shift : Full-time, generally 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
  • Days: Monday through Saturday (schedule based on the needs of the business).
  • Sundays: Optional, scheduled strictly as needed for catering events.

Your Impact: Leading the Heart of the House

  • Drive Excellence: Ensure every dish—from preparation to plate presentation—meets our high standards for flavor and quality.
  • Mentor & Train: Lead the orientation and development of new kitchen talent, teaching them the "Back A Yard" way of cooking and safety.
  • Master Operations: Take charge of food purchasing, inventory control, and waste management to drive profitability.
  • Ensure a Safe Workspace: Maintain a five-star level of cleanliness and equipment care through proactive inspections and safety training.
  • Innovate: Use your culinary expertise and eye for detail to keep our kitchen efficient and our guests happy.

What You Bring to the Table

  • Proven Experience: At least 5 years in high-volume kitchen roles (Line Cook, Prep, Expediter) with 2+ years in a leadership or similar management position.
  • Leadership Skills: A strong ability to communicate clearly with managers, kitchen staff, and guests alike.
  • Technical Mastery: Deep knowledge of cooking methods, portion control, and food safety standards.
  • Physical Stamina: Ability to stand for shifts up to 9 hours and frequently lift up to 50 pounds while remaining active in a fast-paced environment.
