Full Job Description

Culinary Operations Manager

Village Catering Company | Sayre Hospitality Group
Smithville & Wooster, Ohio

Starting Salary

$55,000 annually

Successful completion of our 90-day onboarding program includes an immediate salary review, with the opportunity to increase to $65,000–$75,000 annually based on performance, leadership, KPI achievement, and team integration.

About the Opportunity

Village Catering is one of Northeast Ohio's premier catering companies and part of the growing Sayre Hospitality Group family of businesses.

Unlike traditional restaurant management positions, our culinary operation is primarily production-based. Execution occurs offsite by seasoned caterers. Most work is completed during daytime hours, allowing our leadership/culinary team to enjoy a healthier work-life balance while still leading a fast-paced, high-performing culinary operation.

We're looking for a hands-on operational leader—not simply a cook or chef.

The Culinary Operations Manager is responsible for leading our culinary department through organization, accountability, inventory management, scheduling, food production, team development, and operational excellence. This position exists to build systems, develop people, and create kitchens that consistently operate at a high level. This position is not designed for culinary innovation or recipe creation - but for execution.

Responsibilities:

Lead daily culinary operations.
Develop, coach, and support culinary team members.
Maintain exceptional standards for cleanliness and organization.
Oversee inventory management, food ordering, and product rotation.
Quantify food production based on guest counts and menus.
Prepare weekly culinary schedules.
Improve workflow, efficiency, and kitchen systems.
Communicate proactively with leadership and other departments.
Step into production when needed and lead by example.

We're Looking For Someone Who...

Takes ownership without being asked.
Leads by example.
Enjoys building teams and developing people.
Notices problems before others do.
Thrives in an organized, high-accountability environment.
Takes pride in doing things the right way.
Wants a long-term career—not simply another job.

In all honesty, the person we're hoping to hire is probably already succeeding somewhere else. They're likely the employee their current employer depends on most because they've consistently earned trust through hard work, leadership, and reliability.

Qualifications Required:

5+ years of commercial kitchen or hospitality leadership experience.
Experience supervising and developing employees.
Experience with scheduling, inventory management, and food production planning.
Strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills.
Ability to work alongside the team while providing operational leadership.
Valid driver's license. (Driving Records Will Be Reviewed)

Preferred

Catering or banquet experience.
Multi-unit kitchen leadership.
ServSafe Manager Certification.

Compensation & Benefits

Starting salary of $55,000
90-day salary review with opportunity to increase to $65,000–$75,000
Paid Time Off
Health Insurance
Employee meal benefits
Leadership development opportunities
Long-term growth within Sayre Hospitality Group

Our Hiring Process:

Candidates selected for interviews will receive a detailed Leadership Expectations & Performance Standards Guide, outlining exactly how success is measured in this position, including key performance indicators, leadership expectations, operational standards, and our 90-day onboarding program.

We're looking for someone who wants to build something exceptional—not simply fill a position or find just another job.

Pay: $55,000.00 - $75,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental insurance
Employee discount
Flexible schedule
Paid time off
Vision insurance

Work Location: In person
