Full Job Description

Are you a high-performing chef who thrives in a fast-paced kitchen environment?

Crave-It Nutrition is looking for an experienced Kitchen Manager / Head Chef to lead our high-volume school meal program in Irving. You'll oversee the preparation, cooking, packaging, and service of 500–600 meals daily, with a portion catered to satellite schools and the remainder served onsite.

We need a strong leader who can manage a team, meet strict production deadlines, maintain food safety standards, and be a key player in growing our DFW region. If you can't reliably work Monday–Friday or aren't ready to bring energy and accountability, this isn't the job for you.

What You'll Do

Prepare and cook 500–600 simple, nutritious meals daily following a structured 4-item menu.
Oversee onsite meal service and coordinate delivery of 350–450 meals to other schools.
Lead and manage a team of 5–6 staff, ensuring all roles are performing efficiently.
Maintain strict adherence to food safety and sanitation guidelines.
Order and manage inventory – running out of ingredients is not an option.
Operate a point-of-sale system (iPad/laptop-based) to check out students and generate reports.
Run daily production reports and track meal performance and waste.
Set the standard for performance, attitude, and accountability in our DFW team.

What We're Looking For

Proven culinary experience in high-volume food service – school, catering, or institutional preferred.
Leadership experience – ability to motivate, hold staff accountable, and create a positive work culture.
Strong knowledge of food safety, handling, and sanitation procedures.
Able to work under pressure, meet strict deadlines, and solve problems independently.
Must be reliable, punctual, and committed – we expect no more than 2 absences per semester.
Tech-savvy enough to manage POS systems and reporting software on tablets/laptops.
Professional and friendly – you're feeding kids, so positivity matters.

Why Work With Us?

Growth potential – Crave-It promotes from within. Our DFW region is expanding quickly.
Performance incentives – earn more based on sales and operational success.
Fun, fast-paced culture – work with a team that brings energy and purpose to every day.
Impact – help us feed hundreds of students quality meals daily.

Requirements

Minimum 3 years of experience in a similar high-volume culinary role.
Must pass a background check.
Able to lift 30–50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and move quickly in a kitchen setting.
Reliable transportation and ability to arrive on time, every time.

Crave-It Nutrition is more than just food.

We’re a mission-driven, fun-loving, and hard-working team dedicated to changing school nutrition. Join us, and grow your career with a company that rewards performance, passion, and leadership.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $50,000.00 - $55,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Application Question(s):

Are you willing and able to complete a background check prior to employment?
Do you have a valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle each day for work on time and occasional deliveries or grocery runs?
This job requires you to consistently arrive by 5:00 AM and work until 1:30-2pm, Monday–Friday. Can you reliably meet this schedule?
This is a physically demanding role that requires standing for long periods and lifting up to 50 lbs. Are you able to meet these physical requirements?
How many years of experience do you have preparing 100+ meals per day in a commercial kitchen, catering, or institutional setting (e.g. schools, hospitals)?
Have you led or managed a kitchen team of 4 or more people in a previous role? If so, please provide me a quick summary of that role.
