Chef Manager – Family-Friendly Restaurant
Lead the Kitchen. Inspire the Team. Serve the Community.
Are you a hands-on culinary leader who thrives in a family-oriented restaurant environment? Do you enjoy mentoring your team, creating exceptional scratch-made food, and being part of the special moments that bring people together?
We're looking for a Chef Manager to lead the culinary team at our well-established, family-friendly casual restaurant. We've built our reputation on outstanding food, genuine hospitality, and strong relationships with our guests and employees. Our scratch kitchen serves restaurant guests daily while supporting a thriving catering business that includes weddings, bridal and baby showers, funeral receptions, corporate events, holiday parties, and other special occasions.
This is an opportunity to join a restaurant where people are valued, work-life balance matters, and leadership is built on respect—not micromanagement.

- Oversee all daily kitchen operations with a focus on quality and consistency
- Execute restaurant service and catered events with excellence
- Manage food cost, labor, inventory, and ordering to meet financial goals
- Maintain the highest standards of food safety, cleanliness, and sanitation
- Collaborate on menu features, seasonal specials, and culinary innovation
- Lead by example, fostering a positive, team-first culture
What We're Looking For
- Experience leading a high-volume scratch kitchen
- Catering and banquet experience, including weddings, corporate events, private parties, and community gatherings
- Strong leadership skills with a passion for coaching and developing others
- Financial acumen with experience managing food and labor costs
- Excellent organization and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
- A servant-leader mindset with a commitment to hospitality and teamwork
Why You'll Love It Here
- Family-friendly, established restaurant with an outstanding reputation
- Scratch-made food and a loyal guest following
- Diverse culinary responsibilities between restaurant service and catering
- Supportive ownership that values its people
- Healthy work-life balance
- Long-term career growth with a stable, respected organization
If you're ready to lead a talented kitchen team, create memorable dining experiences, and become part of a restaurant that truly values its employees and guests, we'd love to hear from you.
