If you love the rush of a busy grill and fry station but also have the organizational skills to run a tight ship, we want you to lead our kitchen.

We are seeking a hands-on, full-time Working Kitchen Manager. This is not an office jobyou will be the anchor of our line, cooking side-by-side with the team while managing day-to-day operations. You will bridge the gap between high-volume culinary execution and smart business management.

Lead the Line: Anchor the grill, fry, and assembly stations during peak hours to ensure speed and ticket accuracy.

Manage Operations: Handle inventory, ordering, food cost controls, and vendor relationships.

Team Leadership: Train, schedule, mentor, and motivate back-of-house staff.

Quality & Safety: Maintain strict food safety, sanitation, and cleanliness standards.

Prep Control: Oversee daily prep lists, meat grinding/portioning, and ensure recipe consistency.

What We Look For

Experience: 2+ years of kitchen management or senior lead line cook experience.

Skills: Expertise with high-volume flat-tops, fryers, and short-order execution.

Leadership: A positive attitude that inspires a team during heavy rushes.

Knowledge: Solid understanding of food safety regulations, inventory control, and food costing.

Availability: Flexible schedule, including weekends and evening shifts.

Competitive salary/hourly wage (based on experience)

Consistent full-time hours

Free shift meals

A respectful, high-energy work environment with room to grow
