Vui Ve is expanding, and we’re hiring a Full-Time Back of House Shift Lead to help lead production, food execution, kitchen readiness, and BOH standards during daily service.
Vui Ve is a young, growing food company entering an exciting new stage. We are building more than a restaurant team — we are building the systems, standards, and leadership foundation for a company that can scale. We care about strong food, clean execution, consistency, speed, accountability, and people who take ownership.
This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in food quality, works well under pressure, keeps a clean and organized station, and knows how to lead a kitchen team through high-volume service.
About the Role
The BOH Lead owns production during service. This role is responsible for keeping food execution fast, clean, consistent, organized, and aligned with Vui Ve standards.
While the FOH Lead protects service flow, guest experience, and front-facing communication, the BOH Lead protects production, food quality, kitchen standards, prep readiness, and execution consistency.
The BOH Lead works closely with the FOH Lead to keep service and production aligned. BOH must communicate early about delays, shortages, mistakes, prep needs, food quality concerns, or anything that could affect service. A strong BOH Lead does not wait for problems to become emergencies — they anticipate, communicate, and keep the kitchen moving.
Responsibilities
☻ Lead BOH production during service with speed, cleanliness, consistency, and control
☻ Protect food quality, recipe accuracy, portion standards, and presentation standards
☻ Maintain kitchen readiness before, during, and after service
☻ Keep stations stocked, clean, organized, and prepared for expected volume
☻ Support prep planning, production flow, and daily kitchen execution
☻ Communicate early with FOH Lead about delays, shortages, mistakes, or production issues
☻ Train and coach BOH staff on recipes, portions, station execution, cleanliness, and food standards
☻ Support teammates during high-volume periods and help maintain efficient pacing
☻ Reinforce urgency, accuracy, cleanliness, and accountability throughout the shift
☻ Monitor food safety habits and workplace standards during service
☻ Help maintain inventory awareness, stock levels, prep needs, and product rotation
☻ Identify recurring production issues and communicate them before they affect service
☻ Help create a focused, respectful, and efficient kitchen environment
☻ Close communication loops quickly so production issues do not spill into service
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who understands that BOH leadership is about more than cooking. It is about protecting production, maintaining standards, coaching the team, communicating clearly, and keeping the kitchen steady under pressure.
A strong BOH Lead is fast but not careless, clean but not slow, direct but respectful, and consistent even during rushes. They care about the details because small mistakes in BOH can affect the entire guest experience.
Requirements
☻ Full-time availability required
☻ Food Handler Certification required
☻ Food Manager Certification / Manager Food Safety License required
☻ Previous lead, shift lead, supervisor, or kitchen management experience preferred
☻ Minimum 3 year of experience in a fast-paced kitchen environment
☻ Strong food execution, cleanliness, and organization habits
☻ Strong communication and leadership skills
☻ Ability to multitask and stay organized under pressure
☻ Reliable, professional, punctual, and team-oriented
☻ Able to maintain speed, accuracy, and consistency during high-volume service
☻ Comfortable coaching teammates and reinforcing standards
☻ Willingness to support prep, production, inventory awareness, cleaning routines, and kitchen readiness
