Key Responsibilities

Culinary Standards & Training

Lead line checks and pre-service tastings; calibrate seasoning, temperatures, texture, and plating to spec.

Uphold standardized recipes/SOPs; communicate updates and spot-train on techniques in real time.

Coach cooks on knife skills, fire management, station organization, and expo discipline.

Labor, Scheduling & Deployment

Provide input on schedules to match volume and skill mix; manage breaks and deployment in shift.

Cross-train team across stations to maintain coverage and growth opportunities.

Equipment, Facilities & R&M

Ensure safe operation and daily maintenance of kitchen equipment (grills, fryers, ovens, slicers, immersion blenders).

Filter fryers, clean hoods/filters per schedule; submit/track work orders and tag out unsafe equipment.

Events, Banquets & Openings (as applicable)
