- Ensure prep is completed properly and on schedule.
- Maintain high standards for kitchen cleanliness, sanitation, organization, and food safety.
- Make sure equipment, storage areas, refrigerators, freezers, and workstations are properly maintained and organized.
- Identify operational problems and take initiative to resolve them without waiting to be asked.
- Handle the day-to-day tasks that keep the restaurant functioning, including restocking, organization, cleaning, maintenance coordination, and operational follow-through.
- Ensure opening and closing procedures are completed correctly and consistently.
- Monitor kitchen staffing and help coordinate BOH coverage when needed.
- Work directly with kitchen staff to maintain quality, consistency, efficiency, and accountability.
- Track and communicate maintenance, equipment, supply, and facility issues.
- Help establish and maintain systems that keep the restaurant organized and prevent tasks from being missed.
- Assist with scheduling and general restaurant operations as needed.
- Address guest or employee issues professionally and appropriately.
- Ensure compliance with health department, food safety, sanitation, and company standards.
- Work closely with ownership and management to improve systems, reduce costs, and keep operations running smoothly.
- Be willing to step in and perform hands-on restaurant duties when necessary.
What We're Looking For
- Previous restaurant management experience preferred.
- Strong experience with back-of-house restaurant operations.
- Extremely organized and detail-oriented.
- Someone who naturally notices what needs to be done and takes care of it.
- Strong knowledge of food handling, sanitation, inventory, ordering, and kitchen operations.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
- Reliable, accountable, and willing to take ownership of responsibilities.
- Ability to prioritize multiple operational tasks and follow through.
- Comfortable working alongside kitchen staff rather than simply supervising from the sidelines.
- Strong problem-solving skills and common sense.
- Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, and holidays when needed.
