Are you a high performer with fire in your heart, but stuck in a company that doesn't recognize your efforts? Our well established, local restaurant group is looking for a high energy culinary pro to join our team. If you're a hands-on leader with a strong work ethic and a “do what it takes” mentality, we want to meet you. Our scratch kitchen, farm-to-table restaurant is looking for a Kitchen Manager who thrives in a high-standards, high-accountability environment and is eager to grow into an Executive Kitchen Manager role.

What We’re Looking For:

• Austin Experience: You MUST have at least 2 years experience in Austin (current or prior) – This is not NEGOTIABLE
• Work Ethic & Drive: You believe in putting your head down, working hard, and taking pride in a well-run kitchen.
• Leadership in Action: Our KMs and EKMs are on the floor, on the line—not behind a clipboard or in the office. You’ll be a production manager, ensuring execution at the highest level.
• Growth Mindset: We want leaders who will control what's in front of them, take the bull by the horns, own their role, and grow with us.
• Systems-Oriented Approach: Our specials and recipes are developed by the Culinary Director—your job is to execute them to spec, manage operations, and develop your team.
• People Management: You’ll be responsible for leading, developing, and holding your team accountable in a fast-paced kitchen environment.
• Bi-Lingual: Highly preferred in English and Spanish

What This Role is NOT:

• If you’re looking for daily culinary creativity and menu development, this might not be the right fit.
• If you're more focused on what others are doing, than what's in front of you, this might not be a fit.
• If you're not a self-starter or don't have confidence to run a line, develop people, meet guests, this may not be a fit.
• We are laser-focused on consistency, execution, and operational excellence.

What We Offer:

• Competitive Salary & Growth Opportunities
• Every Manager Bonuses
• Full Healthcare Benefits Package with Long and Short-Term Disability
• Generous and flexible PTO
• Partner dining benefits
• A Team Culture that Rewards Hard Work and Leadership – many Austin EC's have either started or accelerated their career with us!
