Kitchen Manager – Scratch Kitchen, High-Volume Concept

Fort Myers, FL

If you’re the kind of chef who gets more satisfaction from smooth execution than “expressing yourself through specials,” this role will feel like a breath of fresh air.

We’re representing a refined, high-volume scratch kitchen that runs like a well-oiled machine. The food is top-tier, the systems are tight, and the team is proud of how clean, consistent, and dialed-in they are.

They’re looking for a Kitchen Manager who can own the back-of-house operations, the kind of leader who can keep a scratch kitchen humming on busy nights without sacrificing quality or sanity.

The menu is carefully engineered, and the recipes are set. Your mission is to make sure every plate is perfect, every shift runs clean, and every event goes off without a hitch.

What You’ll Do

• Lead a tight-knit BOH team of experienced cooks and prep staff.
• Maintain operational excellence: sanitation, prep, ordering, and scheduling.
• Oversee high-volume private events and fine-style plated service.
• Protect and execute established recipes with precision and pride.
• Contribute ideas during biannual menu updates, but consistency is king.

What You Bring

• Experience in fine dining, private dining, or corporate-style scratch kitchens.
• Proven ability to run busy kitchens efficiently while maintaining standards.
• Hands-on leadership style and a calm, steady presence on the line.
• Strong organizational and communication skills.
• A love for structure, process, and excellence.

What’s in It for You

• A leadership role where consistency, professionalism, and systems are valued.
• Stable ownership with growth potential (a second location is on the horizon).
• Competitive compensation and the chance to be part of a team that truly runs a professional kitchen.



If you’re ready to step into a role where precision and leadership matter more than ego or creative chaos, we’d like to hear from you.
