Develop shift leaders and other back-of-house employees for advancement.
Work closely with the General Manager to achieve guest-service, sales, and profitability goals.
Provide leadership on the cooking line and during peak business periods when necessary.
Address performance issues promptly and maintain clear accountability within the kitchen team.
Protect restaurant assets and maintain accurate inventory and ordering records.

Strong knowledge of food safety, sanitation, inventory, ordering, recipe compliance, and food-cost controls.
Demonstrated ability to train, develop, and hold kitchen employees accountable.

Must be willing and able to complete 120–180 days of paid training in Beaumont, Texas.
Must have reliable transportation.
Must be able to obtain and maintain all required food-safety certifications.
Must be able to stand for extended periods and safely perform the physical duties associated with kitchen operations.

Paid training at the full agreed salary.
Temporary housing or a training stipend may be available during the 120–180-day Beaumont training period for qualifying candidates.
Additional benefits and employment terms will be discussed during the interview process.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate takes pride in running a clean, organized, disciplined, and efficient kitchen. This person understands that consistency, training, urgency, food quality, sanitation, and cost control are equally important to the restaurant’s success.

We are seeking a hands-on kitchen leader who can build a strong team, develop future leaders, maintain high standards, and remain calm and organized during high-volume service periods.
