Culinary Lead

sweetgreen

A Healthier Future Starts With You! As a Culinary Lead (what we call a Kitchen Lead at Sweetgreen), you are the food quality expert in the kitchen. You own how our food is prepped, cooked, and presented—and you lead by example through craft, coaching, and consistency. This is not a people manager role. You won’t write schedules or run performance reviews. You will set the standard for how food gets made every single shift. You are not running the shift alone; you are the go-to person for food quality and kitchen execution. And unlike traditional restaurant kitchens: No grills. No fryers. Just kitchens, smart systems, and real food done right. Join our movement to rewrite the future of fast food and grow your own future too! Top-performing Kitchen Leads have a clear path to General Manager within 2-3 years. What You’ll Actually Do: Own food quality by ensuring every item meets sweetgreen’s standards for flavor, food safety, and presentation Prep and cook hot food to standard using knives, kitchen tools, and ovens (no flames, no fryer oil) Help teammates improve food execution through real-time feedback Stay ahead of volume by managing prep timing and par levels to keep the kitchen running smoothly Be the advocate for food quality on shift, spotting issues early and fixing them fast Partner with Shift Leaders and Managers to uphold food safety, cleanliness, and operational excellence This Role is a Great Fit If You: Love being in the kitchen and take pride in food quality, consistency, and clean execution Want leadership responsibility without full people management Enjoy training peers and getting them excited about new menu launches Have experience in high-volume kitchens (fast casual, QSR, full service, or corporate dining all welcome) The Perks: Tips* (subject to location and role) Competitive wages This role is a key step toward Shift leader and Manager opportunities Medical, dental, and vision options for part-time and full-time team members* Paid vacation, wellness time, and parental leave* Free meal every shift 401(k)* Team Member Merch Shop - earn and buy custom Sweetgreen gear *Depending on eligibility Minimum Requirements Meet all physical requirements for all roles within the Kitchen Lead career path, including Team Member. Comfortable working on your feet Maintain attention to detail and environmental awareness during operations Use touch to assess quality and complete detail-oriented tasks Routinely handling items up to 5-25 lbs, and occasionally handling items 40-50 lbs Food safety knowledge (Food Handler or ServSafe certification) Able to follow food safety, cleanliness, and quality standards Must be available to work a minimum of 30 hours per week Must be 18 years of age or older Must be authorized to work in the United States Who We Are : Sweetgreen is a national restaurant brand dedicated to building healthier communities by connecting people to real food. Since 2007, Sweetgreen has reimagined fast food to be fresh, flavorful, and rooted in relationships with farmers and communities. As we grow, we are committed to developing our people across our restaurants and support center so everyone can be part of the movement.
