Job Description
Kitchen Manager – NEW Scratch-Kitchen Concept | $55K–$65K
A growing, multi-concept restaurant group is opening a brand-new scratch-kitchen concept and we're looking for a Kitchen Manager who takes real pride in running a tight, well-organized kitchen.
This is a scratch-made kitchen through and through — fresh prep and a menu that moves with what's in season — so we need someone who genuinely loves the craft of cooking, not just managing a line. You'll work side by side with your General Manager to set the tone for a brand-new team from day one, with the backing of a restaurant group that's spent well over a decade building bold, from-scratch concepts across multiple states.
What You'll Do
• Lead and develop your kitchen team, building a culture that's positive, sharp, and well-organized
• Uphold food quality, consistency, and food-safety standards across every shift
• Manage inventory, ordering, and vendor relationships to keep the kitchen running efficiently
• Run line checks and expedite service to keep the pass moving smoothly during peak volume
• Partner closely with your General Manager to maintain the standards guests expect
• Train and coach cooks on technique, station standards, and scratch-kitchen execution
What We're Looking For
• Hands-on culinary leadership experience, ideally in a scratch-kitchen or high-volume, from-scratch environment
• A genuine passion for great food and the technical skill to back it up
• Strong organizational instincts — inventory, ordering, and line checks are second nature
• The ability to run a station, train a cook, and expedite a full house without missing a beat
• A team-first mindset that keeps the kitchen positive even when service gets hot
Compensation & Benefits
• $55,000–$65,000 base salary, based on experience
• Paid time off
• Health and dental insurance, plus additional benefits
• Growth potential within a rapidly expanding, multi-concept restaurant group
If you're a hands-on culinary leader with a passion for great food and a knack for keeping a kitchen sharp, we'd love to connect.
