Job Description
Kitchen Manager
Naples Florida
High volume scratch kitchen environment
We are looking for a Kitchen Manager who wants ownership of the back of house and takes pride in running a clean, disciplined, high performing kitchen.
The Opportunity
You will step into a busy, established restaurant with strong sales, steady traffic, and a team that needs a confident culinary leader. The systems are in place. The volume is real. What is missing is a Kitchen Manager who sets the tone, leads from the line, and holds standards when it matters most.
If you thrive in controlled chaos, enjoy coaching cooks in real time, and care deeply about food quality, labor control, and consistency, this role will feel right.
What You Will Own
• Daily kitchen execution during peak volume
• Food quality, recipe adherence, and presentation standards
• BOH scheduling, labor control, and productivity
• Line training, coaching, and accountability
• Food safety, sanitation, and organization
• Vendor ordering and inventory discipline
• Culture in the kitchen, not just coverage
You will be hands on. You will be visible. You will be expected to lead by example, not manage from behind a screen.
Who This Is For
• A current Kitchen Manager or strong Sous Chef ready to run their own kitchen
• Someone who has worked in true high volume, not theoretical volume
• A leader who can balance standards with respect
• A professional who understands that consistency beats ego
• Someone who wants stability, structure, and a clear role
What Matters Most
This operation values reliability, execution, and team leadership. Flashy resumes matter less than proven habits. If you can walk into a kitchen, earn respect quickly, and keep standards tight during a slammed Friday night, you will be successful here.
Compensation and Schedule
• Competitive salary based on experience
• Bonus potential
• Health benefits and paid time off
• Structured schedules and real support
