  • Maintain strong systems for prep, production, cleanliness, and line execution

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum 3 years of experience as a Kitchen Manager, Sous Chef, or BOH Manager in a culinary-focused fast casual or casual dining environment
  • Strong understanding of food cost control, labor management, inventory systems, and P&L fundamentals
  • Proven ability to lead, motivate, and hold teams accountable
  • Experience in high-volume operations preferred
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure
  • A true team leader who leads from the front and sets the standard

What’s in It for You

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision health benefits
  • PTO / Vacation
  • 401(k) with company match
