Full Job Description

Kitchen Manager- Nashville Riverboats

Manthey Hospitality | Full-Time | Bonus Eligible

Ready to Lead Your Own Kitchen?

You're an exceptional Sous Chef.

You love being on the line, leading your team through a busy service, solving problems on the fly, and producing food you're proud of. But you're ready for something more.

You want to learn the business side of running a kitchen, not just executing someone else's vision.

This is that opportunity!

Nashville Riverboats is looking for an emerging culinary leader who wants ownership of an entire back-of-house operation while continuing to cook alongside their team. This isn't a corporate office job or an Executive Chef position buried in paperwork. It's a hands-on operational leadership role where you'll develop the management, financial, administrative, and leadership skills needed to take the next step in your culinary career.

If you've been waiting for someone to give you the keys to your own kitchen, we'd love to meet you.

About Nashville Riverboats

Nashville Riverboats offers unforgettable sightseeing cruises, weddings, private events, corporate outings, brunch cruises, and evening dinner experiences aboard The Capitol on the Cumberland River.

Our guests come for more than the views, they come for exceptional hospitality, memorable food, and an experience unlike anywhere else in Nashville.

As our Kitchen Manager, you'll play a key role in making every cruise unforgettable.

What Makes This Role Different?

Unlike many restaurant kitchens, our culinary program is designed for operational excellence.

During the day, you'll oversee efficient concession-style and short-line food service for sightseeing guests. In the evenings, you'll lead production and execution of our elevated buffet dinner cruises.

While there is some opportunity to contribute ideas and improve execution, this role is focused on consistently delivering high-quality guest experiences through exceptional leadership, organization, and execution.

If your goal is to become a stronger kitchen leader, not just a stronger cook, this is an incredible opportunity.

What You'll Be Doing

Lead all day-to-day back-of-house operations
Coach, develop, and motivate the culinary team
Work alongside your staff during service
Manage scheduling, labor, and staffing needs
Order products and manage inventory
Control food cost, waste, and purchasing
Maintain FIFO, food safety, sanitation, and quality standards
Ensure every guest receives an exceptional dining experience
Collaborate with front-of-house and marine operations to keep every cruise running smoothly
Build systems that create consistency, accountability, and teamwork

Who We're Looking For

This role is ideal for:

High-performing Sous Chefs ready for their first full kitchen leadership position
Kitchen Supervisors looking for greater responsibility
Newer Kitchen Managers wanting complete operational ownership
Culinary leaders who enjoy mentoring teams while staying hands-on

You'll be successful if you:

Thrive in fast-paced service
Lead by example
Stay calm under pressure
Hold yourself and your team to high standards
Love developing people
Enjoy solving operational challenges
Want to continue growing your leadership skills

Qualifications

2+ years in a culinary leadership role preferred (Lead Line Cook, Sous Chef, Assistant Kitchen Supervisor, or Assistant Kitchen Manager)
Experience in high-volume food service
Strong organizational and communication skills
Knowledge of food cost, inventory, and scheduling
ServSafe Certification (or ability to obtain)
Availability for evenings, weekends, and holidays
Comfortable working aboard a moving vessel in a compact galley environment

Growth Opportunity

This isn't just a Kitchen Manager job.

Manthey Hospitality is investing in the future of Nashville Riverboats.

A second vessel is expected to join our fleet in late 2026/early 2027, creating additional leadership opportunities for high performers. As our operation grows, so will opportunities for advancement, increased responsibility, and expanded culinary leadership.

If you're looking for a place where your career can grow, not just another kitchen to manage, you'll fit right in.

Benefits

Competitive Salary
Health, Dental & Vision Benefits
401(k) with Employer Match
Paid Time Off
Free Parking
Employee Discounts & Complimentary Cruises
Career Growth & Leadership Development
Opportunity to help shape the future of a growing hospitality operation

Come Aboard

If you're ready to step beyond the Sous Chef role and take ownership of an entire kitchen while continuing to do what you love, cook, lead, and develop a great team, we'd love to hear from you!

Apply today and help create unforgettable experiences on the Cumberland River!

Equal Opportunity Employer

Manthey Hospitality is an Equal Opportunity Employer and celebrates diversity in our workplace. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all team members.
