Are You a Kitchen-Savvy Leader Who Loves Food and Innovation?
We’re on the hunt for a hands-on General Manager who’s just as comfortable behind the line as they are running the show. This role is all about operating a fast-paced, tech-powered kitchen where the food speaks for itself—no front-of-house staff, just next-level efficiency and flavor. If you’ve got culinary chops and a passion for leading tight teams, you’ll feel right at home here.
What You'll Be Rocking
- Run the daily show in a kiosk-forward kitchen setup
- Lead a skilled, cross-functional BOH crew with precision
- Oversee prep, production, delivery, and commissary flow
- Keep quality, safety, and flavor dialed in at every step
- Own the details—staffing, service, scheduling, and more
What You Bring to the Table
- 3–5 years cooking in fast-paced kitchens (you know every station cold)
- 2+ years guiding BOH teams in a leadership role
- Fluent in food cost, inventory, and efficient kitchen systems
- Comfortable with tech—from self-order kiosks to delivery dashboards
- Cool-headed, motivational, and obsessed with great food
The Must-Haves
- Active Manager’s Food Handler Certification
- Open schedule, including weekends and holidays
- Ability to stand for long shifts and lift up to 50 lbs
This is your chance to shape a future-forward dining concept that blends tech, flavor, and fast casual done right. If you’re ready to lead from the kitchen and change the game—apron up.
