Kitchen Manager – Coastal Casual Dining | Texas Coast

About the Opportunity

An established coastal restaurant is seeking a seasoned Kitchen Manager to lead a long-tenured back-of-house team. Known for its bold flavors and relaxed atmosphere, this high-volume operation values consistency, mentorship, and strong leadership. The right candidate will bring maturity, calm under pressure, and a genuine passion for developing people and maintaining high standards.

Kitchen Manager – Compensation & Perks

  • Salary: $60,000–$65,000
  • Christmas Bonus: $3,000–$4,000
  • Summer Pay Boost: +$100/week
  • Paid Vacation: Two weeks at Christmas
  • Relocation Welcome (RV stipend available for candidates with RVs)

Kitchen Manager – What You’ll Bring

  • Proven Kitchen Manager experience in a high-volume, full-service concept
  • Experience managing $3M+ annual sales volume
  • Ability to train and mentor culinary teams in core techniques
  • Formal P&L understanding and basic HR training
  • Comfort working in seasonal operations with volume shifts
  • Calm, steady leadership style and a positive, team-oriented attitude
  • Background in seafood or coastal cuisine a strong plus

Kitchen Manager – Why This Role Stands Out

This is a rare opportunity to step into a respected, established operation where teamwork, loyalty, and quality truly matter. You’ll lead a cohesive crew with deep roots in the community while enjoying the balance of coastal living and professional growth.
