Full Job Description

Platr - Premium Halal Meal Prep | Houston, TX

Location: Commissary Kitchen, Jeanetta St, Houston
Type: Full-time, salaried
Compensation: $60,000 - $80,000 base, commensurate with experience, plus performance bonus tied to food cost, labor efficiency, and quality metrics

Why This Role Exists

Platr is one of the fastest-growing halal meal prep brands in Houston. We produce thousands of chef-built, macro-tracked meals every week out of our Jeanetta commissary and sell them through weekly made-to-order and retail grab-and-go.

Our second location opens in under six months. A franchise model comes after that.

We are a young, aggressive brand operating in one of the fastest-growing categories in food - health-conscious, high-protein, convenience-driven eating. The demand is real and it is not slowing down. Our constraint isn't customers. It's kitchen capacity and operational leadership.

That's the seat we're filling.

The Role

You will run the kitchen. Completely.

This is the #2 operating role in the company and reports directly to the CEO. We're handing that over to a person who can do it better, run it tighter, and build it to scale across multiple locations.

This is not a maintenance job. There is no established playbook you inherit and follow. You're building the system that our second, third, and fifth kitchens will run on.

If you want a role where you're one of six managers executing someone else's SOPs, this isn't it. If you want to own an operation and see your fingerprints on a brand as it scales - keep reading.

What You'll Own

Production

Plan and execute two full production cycles per week - batching, cook order, protein weights, base batching, portioning, packaging
Hit volume targets on time, with no shorts and no waste
Allocate production between made-to-order and retail against live demand data

Cost & Purchasing

Own food cost as a number you defend, not a number you report
Build POs, manage pars, run cycle counts, chase variance to root cause
Manage and negotiate vendor relationships across broadline, halal protein, produce, and packaging

People

Lead, schedule, train, and hold accountable a kitchen team across prep, cook, portioning, and packaging
Build training that makes quality independent of who's on shift
Recruit and develop the bench we need for location #2

Quality & Food Safety

Own HACCP-level discipline: temp logs, cooling, labeling, allergen control, sanitation, inspection readiness
Maintain absolute halal integrity in sourcing, storage, and handling - this is non-negotiable and it is the foundation of our brand
Enforce spec. Every meal leaves identical, every cycle

Systems

Work inside our internal operations platform - recipes, costing, inventory, production reporting - and help us make it sharper
Document everything so it can be replicated at the next site

Compensation & Performance Bonus

Base of $60,000–$80,000 depending on what you actually bring, plus a quarterly performance bonus structured around:

Food cost - hitting and holding target cost of goods
Labor efficiency - meals produced per labor hour
Order accuracy - MTO fulfillment with zero errors
Food safety compliance - temp log discipline and clean inspections

We'd rather pay a strong operator well and share the upside than underpay and rebuild the seat in eight months. If you perform, you make more. If you build the system that lets us open location three, you grow into a multi-unit operations role.

Who We're Looking For

High energy. You set the pace of the kitchen, and everyone feels it
Sharp with numbers - you can look at a yield and know immediately if something's off
You'd rather fix the system than fight the same fire twice
Direct communicator. You address problems the day they happen
You lead by how you work, not by how loudly you talk
You want equity in the outcome, not just a paycheck

Requirements

4+ years managing a high-volume production kitchen, commissary, catering operation, or meal prep company
Demonstrated ownership of food cost and labor cost as tracked KPIs
Direct experience managing and training a team of 10+
Strong food safety background; ServSafe Manager certification, or ability to obtain within 30 days
Comfortable with spreadsheets, production sheets, and inventory systems
Available early mornings and full production days, including weekends
Able to work on your feet in a commercial kitchen environment

Strong Plus

Meal prep, subscription food
Multi-site or new location opening experience
Familiarity with halal sourcing and certification standards
Bilingual English/Spanish
Experience with Shopify, ERP, or kitchen management software

What You Get

$60K–$80K base + quarterly performance bonus
Real authority - you run the kitchen, you own the decisions
Ground floor of a brand opening its second location with franchising in development
A clear path into a multi-unit Director of Operations role as we scale
A CEO who moves fast, decides fast, and expects the same

How to Apply

Email [email protected] with subject line "Kitchen Ops Manager — [Your Name]" and include:

Your resume
Three sentences on the highest-volume production week you personally ran - units produced, team size, and your food cost
One system or process you built that outlasted you

Applications missing #2 and #3 won't be reviewed. We're hiring for judgment, not just a resume.

Pay: $60,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Employee discount
Food provided
Paid training

Work Location: In person
