Kitchen Manager — Con Huevos! Mexican Breakfast & Brunch
Con Huevos! is a growing Mexican-inspired breakfast and brunch restaurant in Louisville, known for fresh food, great energy, and a strong team culture. We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Kitchen Manager to lead our kitchen team and help drive consistency, quality, and culture across our Egg, Pantry, and Prep stations.
This is a leadership role for someone who takes ownership of the kitchen — not just executing recipes, but managing people, systems, and standards. Because we're a breakfast and lunch concept, shifts start early in the morning, giving our leaders a schedule with afternoons and evenings free a real work-life balance compared to traditional restaurant management roles.

- Manage station setup, food cost control, inventory, and ordering
- Ensure food safety, sanitation, and cleanliness standards are consistently met
- Create and manage kitchen schedules, ensuring proper coverage for morning and weekend service
- Lead by example during high-volume breakfast and brunch rushes, jumping onto the line when needed
- Partner with restaurant leadership on labor management, waste control, and operational goals
- Build a positive, disciplined kitchen culture where the team feels supported and motivated to grow
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience as a Kitchen Manager, Sous Chef, or Kitchen Lead in a high-volume restaurant
- Strong leadership skills able to train, motivate, and hold a team accountable
- Dependable and punctual, especially for early morning shifts
- Availability on weekends is required
- Comfortable managing multiple stations and priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Genuine interest in working morning/early shifts and building a team-first culture
- Food safety certification (ServSafe or equivalent) a plus
Why Work at Con Huevos

- Leadership role with real ownership and growth opportunity.
- Be part of a fast-growing, locally loved restaurant group
