Full Job Description

About the Role

We are a growing, multi-location restaurant group with a passion for genuine, from-scratch

Italian cuisine. We are seeking a hands-on Chef/Kitchen Manager to lead our culinary team at

one of our locations as we continue to build and grow.

This is not just a cooking role, it is a leadership role. The right candidate will take full ownership

of the kitchen: from the quality of every dish that leaves the kitchen, to the development of every

team member on the line. We are looking for someone who is energized by the challenge of

building something great and who holds themselves and their team to a high, consistent

standard.

What You’ll Do

Culinary Execution & Quality

Maintain consistency and quality across all menu items, ensuring every dish reflects our

from-scratch standards

Oversee all kitchen operations including prep, line execution, and expediting during

service

Ensure proper food handling, storage, and sanitation practices are followed at all times
Actively work the line alongside the team

Leadership & Team Development

Lead, coach, and motivate a kitchen team with patience, consistency, and accountability
Set clear expectations and hold all team members to the same standards
Create a positive kitchen culture where staff feel supported, challenged, and proud of

their work

Conduct regular check-ins, provide real-time feedback, and invest in the growth of your

team

Operations & Financial Management

Manage food cost, waste, and inventory with a disciplined, data-informed approach
Oversee ordering, vendor relationships, and receiving to maintain quality and control

costs

Maintain and enforce kitchen schedules, ensuring appropriate staffing for volume
Partner with the Executive Chef and management on menu development, specials, and

seasonal updates

Guest Experience & Community

Serve as the senior leader on duty when the FOH manager is not in house — owning the

full guest experience, not just what comes out of the kitchen

Touch tables, check in with guests, and take genuine interest in their experience
Be a visible, welcoming presence in the dining room — someone guests recognize and

look forward to seeing

Build relationships with our regulars and become a recognizable face in the local

community

Handle guest concerns with professionalism, ownership, and a solutions-first mindset

Communication & Partnership

Work closely with front-of-house management to ensure seamless, consistent service
Report to the General Manager and operations leadership, with open communication to

ownership.

Participate in management meetings and contribute to the overall growth of the location

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of experience as a lead chef or kitchen manager in a full-service restaurant

environment

Demonstrated experience managing food cost, labor, and kitchen operations
Proven ability to lead and develop a kitchen team
A deep respect for scratch cooking and a commitment to quality ingredients and

techniques

Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-first mindset
Self-motivated, organized, and able to hold themselves accountable without constant

oversight

Experience with Italian cuisine a strong plus, but a willingness to learn and embrace the

concept is equally valued

ServSafe certification (or willingness to obtain)

Who You Are

You show up every day ready to lead. You don’t point fingers — you solve problems. You

believe in developing people, not just managing them. You care about the guest experience as

much as you care about the food. You understand that consistency is a form of excellence, and

you bring that energy to your team every shift.

You’re also comfortable stepping out of the kitchen. You enjoy talking to guests, you remember

regulars’ names, and you understand that a great meal is only part of what brings people back.

You see community relationships as part of your job — not an afterthought.

You’re the kind of chef who makes the kitchen better just by being in it — and the dining room,

too.

What We Offer

Competitive salary commensurate with experience
Opportunity to grow with a multi-location restaurant group
A collaborative ownership and leadership team that values your input and invests in your

success

A kitchen built on quality product and genuine Italian scratch cooking
Supportive leadership and a team that wants to win together

Pay: $60,000.00 - $65,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Food provided
Health insurance
Paid time off

Work Location: In person
