• Run shifts and oversee daily service flow in a fast-paced environment
• Ensure food quality, safety, and brand standards are met consistently
• Support labor planning, ordering, and cost controls
• Coach, train, and develop hourly team members
• Partner closely with the RGM to execute operational priorities

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 2–3 years of kitchen or restaurant leadership experience
• Comfort leading teams on the floor, not just in the kitchen
• Strong understanding of high-volume service
• Working knowledge of food safety, inventory, and labor controls
• A collaborative, lead-from-the-front leadership style

Why This Role Works

• Clear step-up path to broader management roles
• Exposure to full restaurant operations, not siloed responsibilities
• Competitive pay with bonus opportunities
• Support from an experienced operations team
