Full job description
We are searching for a driven, high-energy Sous Chef/Kitchen Manager to join an exciting upscale/fine dining culinary team that is passionate about excellence, innovation, and winning every day.
This is NOT a corporate chain environment. This ownership group thrives on creativity, culinary competitions, elevated hospitality, and constantly evolving experiences. With 30+ onsite events annually and a culture built around energy and growth, this is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to be challenged, inspired, and part of something special.
Kitchen Manager Qualifications:
• Upscale or fine dining kitchen leadership experience required
• Hands-on leadership style with strong culinary credibility
• Ability to “talk the talk” with highly skilled Executive Chefs
• Strong operational skills including ordering, inventory, vendor relations, and kitchen execution
• Seafood experience strongly preferred
• Competitive, driven mentality with a passion for hospitality and culinary excellence
• Someone who is hungry to grow — not simply going through the motions
Kitchen Manager Responsibilities:
• Leading daily BOH operations in a high-energy scratch kitchen environment
• Supporting food quality, prep execution, line operations, and team development
• Managing ordering, vendors, inventory, and operational flow
• Coaching and developing kitchen teams while maintaining high standards
• Collaborating closely with ownership and Executive Chefs on events and execution
• Helping drive a culture of accountability, teamwork, and excellence
Kitchen Manager Benefits:
• Competitive Base salary
• Two days off weekly (Mondays always closed)
• 401(k) with company match up to 4%
• Healthcare benefits
• PTO and flexible culture
• Bonus potential
• Opportunity to work alongside passionate culinary professionals in a highly respected concept
If you are a motivated culinary leader who loves hospitality, thrives in fast-paced upscale environments, and wants to be part of a team that truly cares about quality and culture, we’d love to connect.
