KITCHEN MANAGER
The Kitchen Manager isn't just a position—it’s the engine of our restaurant. We are looking for a battle-tested kitchen leader who is relentlessly dependable, works harder than everyone else, and brings an infectious, high-octane energy to the line. If you possess razor-sharp attention to detail and have a proven track record of motivating raw talent into a high-performance tribe, then step up—this is your kitchen.
What You'll Do
The Line & Production
- Master the Craft. Own every plate that hits the pass—flawless presentation, razor-sharp quality, and zero tolerance for sloppy execution.
- Lead from the Front. Master every single station. You don't just delegate the chaos; you can jump in and crush any position on the fly to Tokyo Joe's exact standards.
- Prep Domination. Build, execute, and finish the daily prep list before service even looks at you sideways.
Standards, Safety & Steel
- Lock Down Safety. Treat health codes and government food safety like the iron-clad rule. Spotless sanitation and zero health-violation risks on your watch.
- Respect the Blade. Bring surgeon-level, proficient knife-handling skills to every prep block.
- Gear & Facility Ownership. Keep the kitchen equipment purring and the station sparkling. If it’s broken or dirty, you fix it until it's right.
People, Culture & Development
- Develop Your Tribe. Run onboarding, train new talent, and turn raw hires into killers on the line.
- Level Up the Team. Coach hard, communicate straight, and share feedback that actually mean something—no fluff, just growth.
- Command & Communicate. Drive the kitchen with high-energy teamwork, clear delegation, and zero toxic noise.
Numbers, P&L & Chaos Control
- Own the COGS. Master the math—ordering, receiving, invoice audits, returns, and holding tight inventory pars. Waste nothing.
- Pivot Under Fire. Own the rush. When the tickets pile up or chaos hits, you stay calm, adapt fast, and keep the kitchen moving.
