Partner with restaurant leadership on hiring, onboarding, performance management, and employee relations.
Build a positive and collaborative kitchen culture that encourages teamwork, accountability, and professional growth.

Support recipe testing, menu rollouts, and implementation of new culinary initiatives.
Ensure new dishes are properly trained and consistently executed by the culinary team.
Stay current on culinary techniques, products, trends, and industry developments.
Bring creativity and new ideas while maintaining the standards and identity of the restaurant.

Financial & Operational Leadership

Take ownership of kitchen-level financial performance, including food cost, labor, waste, and controllable expenses.
Partner with the General Manager to achieve sales, profitability, and operational goals.
Monitor performance against budgets and identify opportunities for improvement.
Support inventory management, purchasing, and vendor relationships.
Use operational and financial reporting to make informed decisions and improve restaurant performance.
Maintain accountability for key operational standards, guest experience, and financial results.

What We're Looking For

Proven experience leading culinary teams in a full-service, high-volume restaurant environment.
Strong understanding of food cost, labor management, inventory, purchasing, and kitchen operations.
Demonstrated ability to recruit, train, motivate, and retain culinary talent.
Hands-on leadership style with a willingness to work alongside the team during service.
