Overview
Little Rad Market is a high-end market and café in Belle Meade specializing in coffee, baked goods, and scratch-made prepared foods. We’re the sister restaurant to Radish Kitchen, both from chef and cookbook author Amanda Frederickson, with a shared focus on delicious food, premium ingredients and exceptional customer service.
The Kitchen Manager will oversee the daily operations of our kitchen, ensuring a smooth, efficient, and high-quality culinary experience. This role is ideal for a hands-on leader who excels in team management, kitchen operations, and culinary creativity, all while keeping a positive attitude. The Kitchen Manager will not only supervise staff, maintain safety and cleanliness standards, and control inventory and costs, but also play an integral role in developing and refining our menu offerings in collaboration with ownership and leadership.
What You’ll Do
- Work alongside the team making sandwiches, prepping, and keeping the kitchen clean and running smoothly
- Create prep lists and schedules, ensuring that the kitchen is setup for every shift
- Place orders, manage inventory, and help control costs to hit budget goals
- Supervise, train, and coach kitchen staff to keep performance and morale high
- Maintain food safety, sanitation, and cleanliness standards at all times
- Collaborate on menu updates and recipe development alongside ownership
- Troubleshoot issues on the fly and build better systems and processes as you go
- Cross-Train in FOH and our coffee program. Every manager here knows the whole café, not just their corner of it
- Taste test FroYo to keep standards high (tough gig, we know)
