Do you want to inspire and enable people to eat healthfully and to make a difference in how healthy food is perceived? This small, upstart company offers ample opportunity to collaborate and contribute to the embodiment of their mission statement: “Delivering meals that nourish.” We are seeking a talented and ambitious Restaurant Kitchen Manager / Sous Chef who values being a part of a work “family” where everyone is treated with respect and encouraged to live their best. The ideal candidate enjoys and is experienced at creating and implementing systems as needed to efficiently run a kitchen production cycle.

Requirements: Ideal candidate will have the following:

• 3-5 years cooking experience
• Some management/supervisory experience preferred but not required
• Ability to produce while overseeing the quality and safety of production and managing others
• Able to identify when systems are needed or need improvement, and creating and implementing them
• Must be able to work collaboratively and offer constructive criticism in a positive way to staff when more guidance is needed
• Previous experience with production style cooking is a plus
• Passion for developing and mentoring a team

Salary Range & Benefits:

• Salary – $38k – $42k (starting, based on experience level)
