Strong understanding of food cost management, yield, and labor control
Proficiency with kitchen management software, inventory systems, and basic office applications
Valid ServSafe Food Protection Manager certification; familiarity with HACCP, USDA, or FDA standards is a plus
Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to translate complex needs into actionable tasks
Flexibility to work early mornings, weekends, and holidays
