Full Job Description

Mamahuhu is built around the idea that food brings people, communities, and cultures together. Chinese-American food is a perfect example — a cuisine that began in China, evolved in America, and continues to bring people together in joyful, shared moments. We’re here to celebrate that tradition by creating thoughtful new expressions of classic dishes that are fun, nourishing, and absolutely delicious.

About Us

Mamahuhu’s founding team includes Brandon Jew of Mister Jiu’s in San Francisco’s Chinatown and Anmao Sun and Ben Moore of Hunter Gatherer, a farm-to-table restaurant group in Shanghai, China. With experience spanning fine dining to fast casual, China to California, our team is united by a shared love for Chinese-American food and a commitment to sustainability, quality sourcing, and community.

Our mission is simple: to create Happier and Healthier Communities by spreading the joy of Chinese-American fare and tradition.

DESCRIPTION

We’re looking for a passionate, hands-on Kitchen Manager to lead back-of-house operations at one of our San Francisco restaurants. This is a very hands-on role — you’re in the kitchen every day, working, tasting, coaching, and problem-solving alongside your team, not managing from the sidelines.

You’ll own all aspects of BOH operations: building a strong team culture, ensuring consistent food quality, and managing the daily running of the kitchen. We’re a casual counter-service restaurant that emphasizes quality people, food, and culture — this role is less about culinary creativity and more about building great systems, leading a team, and hitting high standards every shift.

Goals and targets are set in partnership with upper management, but how you get there is up to you. We’re looking for someone excited to grow with us, who takes ownership of continuously improving our systems and standards rather than just maintaining them.

This is a full-time role based in San Francisco. We offer strong benefits, a supportive and upbeat work culture, and a schedule that promotes long-term success.

Kitchen Operations & Facilities

Maintain an organized, efficient kitchen and uphold cleanliness standards; oversee regular inventory
Manage catering intake and execution with the GM

QUALIFICATIONS

5+ years of restaurant experience, including 3+ years supervising, leading, or coaching a team
ServSafe Manager Certification required
Proficiency in English and Spanish strongly preferred
Has completed BOH training across every kitchen position and can operate each one with ease
Comfortable using restaurant technology, including POS systems, tablets, and kitchen printers

Strong work ethic and a genuine passion for developing others
Available for a flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays

BENEFITS
