Full Job Description

Kitchen Manager – Gunther Toody's Diner (Littleton)

"Where every booth is a time machine."

Do you love the smell of sizzling bacon, the hum of a busy diner, and being the steady hand in the middle of the action? Do you thrive on teamwork, throwback tunes, and hospitality that's sweeter than a root beer float?

Then saddle up, because Gunther Toody's is hiring an extremely strong Kitchen Manager in Littleton!

As KM, you're the co-pilot to the Restaurant General Manager — and one of the hardest-working people in the building. This is a working-manager role, not a desk job. You'll be on the floor or in the kitchen 95% of the time, running the shift while jumping onto the line, expo, prep, dish, or grill wherever there's a gap. When you're the only manager in the building, the whole store is yours — front of house and back — and you own it from the first bell to the last milkshake.

A day in the life of a Gunther Toody's Kitchen Manager:

Runs the shift as a hands-on leader — supervising and directing the team while working stations as business needs require. Management is always your first job, even with a spatula in your hand.
Covers any open kitchen position (line, prep, or dish) on any shift, at the pace and quality of a pro in that station, without ever letting oversight of the shift slip.
Acts as Manager-on-Duty with full responsibility for the entire store — FOH and BOH — whenever no other manager is present, upholding steps of service, ticket times, guest satisfaction, and cleanliness from booths to bathrooms.
Builds and executes daily prep lists and portion control systems, completing prep items within company standard prep times.
Supports the GM in driving sales and hitting labor and food cost targets. (Weekly scheduling is owned by the GM — you help with staffing and labor management on the fly.)
When a call-off or no-show hits mid-shift, you triage, cover the gap, and get the GM a plan — calm, fast, and solution-first.
Coaches team members on service standards, food safety, and our unique diner culture; leads pre-shift meetings and ongoing staff development.
Leads opening and closing procedures, including cash handling and shift reports.
Assists with inventory management, ordering, and vendor coordination alongside the GM.
Communicates like a leader: concerns go straight to the GM with a proposed fix — team channels stay positive, professional, and constructive.
Helps recruit, train, and develop staff, and ensures accountability to company standards.
Delivers diner magic through 50s-style hospitality, positive energy, and lead-by-example professionalism.

Schedule & pay structure (read this part, Daddy-O):

This is a salaried position. Your salary compensates all hours worked in the role.
Shifts may be morning, day, or evening — there is no fixed or guaranteed shift pattern. We flex to the needs of the diner.
Most shifts run a standard length, but on rare occasions — an emergency, a call-off, an unexpected rush — a shift may run past 10 hours. That's the exception, not the norm.
Weekends and holidays are part of the gig.

You'll be a great fit if you:

Have at least 2 years of kitchen management experience
Can cook — full stop. You're confident and proficient (or ready to get proficient fast) across all core stations: grill, cold side, wheel/expo, prep, dish, and shake station
Thrive in a fast-paced environment and know how to lead during the rush
Stay composed under pressure — a slammed Saturday or a surprise call-off brings out your calmest, most solution-focused self
Communicate clearly, give and receive feedback with professionalism
Are passionate about people, food, and building a strong, positive team
Love a hands-on leadership role and lead by example
Are excited to lean into the 1950s theme — from the lingo to the look
Hold a current ServSafe Manager certification (or an equivalent accredited food protection manager certification) — required for this role. Colorado requires a Certified Food Protection Manager on staff, and as KM, that's you.

Gunther Toody's Core Values ("D.I.N.E.R.S.")

Delight Every Guest – You go the extra mile. You greet every guest with a smile, a "Glad you're here!" and a warm, energetic welcome. Every visit is a special occasion — whether it's their first time or their fiftieth.

Integrity – You're honest, consistent, and dependable. Whether you're flipping pancakes or handling cash, you do the right thing — even when no one's looking.

Notice the Little Things – You catch the small details that turn a good visit into a great one — like keeping the coffee full, a clean table, or handing out a complimentary ice cream sundae to a kindergartner in a cap and gown.

Embrace Change – You adapt quickly and rise to the occasion — whether it's a surprise rush, a new promo, or a mid-shift call-off. You stay cool, flexible, and solution-focused.

Respect – You treat every guest, team member, and vendor with kindness, patience, and dignity. You bring warmth and professionalism to every interaction, always.

Stay in Character – You help keep the magic of the 1950s alive. From the way you greet guests ("What'll it be, Daddy-O?") to how you wear your uniform and style your station, you embody the retro spirit.

Why You'll Love Working at Gunther Toody's:

Base salary: $57,800–$62,000/year (based on experience) + monthly bonus with uncapped earning potential — the better the diner performs, the more you make
50% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance
PTO after 6 months
A supportive, hands-on leadership team that actually listens
A chance to work for a family-owned Colorado institution that's been making memories for nearly 40 years — where every shift is high-energy, high-impact, and full of diner magic

Gunther Toody's is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds to apply.
