All Employees of Waters Edge Winery & Bistro Kalispell can expect to enjoy a fun & dynamic work environment! We are a family owned business and know that the success of our business relies on the team we employ.

Kitchen Lead

Waters Edge Winery & Bistro | Kalispell, MT | Full-Time (aprox. 36/hours per week)

This is not a “chef with a capital C” role.

We’re looking for a Kitchen Lead who’s skilled, creatively driven, and leads with respect — not volume, not attitude, not ego.

If you love great food, clean systems, collaboration, and bringing people up instead of tearing them down, keep reading.

The Vibe

Waters Edge Winery & Bistro is a fast-growing winery and simple scratch kitchen with live music, events, and catering. We care deeply about:

Quality food
Strong systems
A healthy kitchen culture
Treating everyone with respect

We do not tolerate toxic behavior. Ever.

What You’ll Do

Lead day-to-day kitchen operations with confidence and calm
Create and evolve menus (seasonal, events, catering)
Cost menus and manage food margins responsibly
Train, onboard, and support kitchen staff
Maintain ServSafe and food safety standards
Improve kitchen flow, prep systems, and efficiency
Execute catering and special events
Work autonomously while collaborating with leadership

Who We’re Looking For

You are:

Professionally trained in culinary arts – this can mean school or on the job expertise
Experienced in menu development and food costing
ServSafe certified (or willing to get certified)
Comfortable leading without micromanaging or yelling
Creative, organized, and adaptable
Humble enough to do dishes (it’s a small kitchen and a lot of time you’ll work solo)
Calm under pressure
Willingness to help out other team members with things like labelling wine, polishing glasses, stocking shelves and above all else – a passion for cleaning! No one wants to eat in a dirty restaurant and we didn’t earn our awards for being dirty!
Respectful to every role — dish, FOH, management, guests
Proud of your work, not your title

If you believe kitchens run best with teamwork, humility, and accountability — you’ll fit right in.

What This Is Not

Not a yelling kitchen
Not a toxic “chef culture”
Not 70-hour weeks
Not micromanaged

This is a role for someone who wants ownership, autonomy, and balance.

Compensation

$39,000 – $43,000 annually
( $21–$23/hour depending on experience, performance and attitude on the job)

Probationary period of 3 months – show us what you got! If you got the right stuff, your wage will reflect it!

Performance-based growth as the food and catering program expands.

Perks

Wine & food discounts
Creative input and real decision-making
Stable schedule (for restaurant life)
Supportive ownership that has your back

Apply If:

You love food, lead with integrity, and believe great kitchens are built on respect, systems, and good humans.

Apply with resume and a brief note on why this role speaks to you.
