Full Job Description

About Us

We are an established hospitality venue transitioning into a full event and entertainment destination hosting private parties, live music, weddings, and large catered events. Our daily menu is intentionally simple (artisan pizzas and select appetizers), but our events require elevated service, organization, and leadership.

We are looking for a hands-on culinary professional who can operate a small daily kitchen while also leading large-scale catering and event food service.

This is not a traditional restaurant chef position — this is a leadership role for someone who enjoys both cooking and running operations.

Position Overview

The Working Kitchen Manager is responsible for daily kitchen execution, ordering and inventory, staff leadership, and event catering operations. This person will cook daily, manage kitchen staff, and take ownership of food service for private events ranging from small parties to large catered functions.

This role will grow into the lead culinary position as the venue expands its event programming.

Core Responsibilities

Daily Kitchen Operations

Prepare pizzas and appetizer menu to consistent standards
Maintain a clean, organized kitchen
Manage prep and production schedules
Control food costs and minimize waste
Oversee sanitation and safety procedures

Leadership & Staff Management

Supervise kitchen staff during service
Train and mentor cooks and prep staff
Create prep lists and service plans
Maintain accountability and kitchen culture
Communicate with front-of-house managers

Ordering & Inventory

Food ordering and vendor relations
Weekly inventory and par levels
Cost management and portion control
Receiving and quality checks

Catering & Events

Plan and execute food service for events
Cater large groups and private functions
Coordinate timing with event managers
Plate and present food for high-end service
Assist with menu development for events

Venue Growth Role

Help design scalable catering menus
Assist with operational systems
Prepare kitchen for weddings and large productions
Work alongside management as venue expands

Required Qualifications

ServSafe Manager Certification (required)
3+ years kitchen leadership or kitchen manager experience
Catering or banquet experience
Comfortable cooking in both small kitchen and large event environments
Strong organization and time management
Experience with food ordering and inventory
Ability to lead staff during high-volume events
Professional appearance and demeanor

Preferred Experience

Event venue, wedding, banquet, or country club experience
High-end service or plated dinner service
Scratch cooking and menu development
Vendor negotiation and food costing

This Position Is NOT

A purely creative chef role
A short-order cook position
A corporate chain kitchen

This is a leadership position for someone who wants stability, responsibility, and the chance to build something.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: From $18.00 per hour

Benefits:

Employee discount

Work Location: In person
