Lead by example during service, maintaining professionalism, urgency, and a team-focused attitude.
Help build a positive kitchen culture rooted in accountability, quality, respect, and pride in the food being served.
Support catering, private events, promotions, and special menus as needed.

Strong background in full-service restaurant kitchen operations.
Experience with Italian cuisine, wood-fired pizza, handmade pasta, or upscale casual dining is preferred.
Demonstrated leadership skills with experience training, managing, and motivating kitchen staff.
Strong understanding of food safety regulations, sanitation standards, and proper food handling practices.
Experience with food ordering, inventory management, prep planning, cost control, and waste reduction.
Ability to maintain consistency, quality, and speed in a fast-paced kitchen environment.
