• Uphold and model Dish Society’s values of hospitality, pride, growth, and connectedness

Who You Are

• An experienced BOH leader — you’ve led shifts or teams in a kitchen before
• A working leader — you don’t just direct, you lead from the station alongside your team
• Calm, focused, and decisive under pressure
• Highly reliable and accountable — your team knows they can count on you
• Detail-driven — you care deeply about food quality, cleanliness, and consistency
• A coach — you naturally teach, support, and elevate the people around you
• Comfortable working mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays — you understand the rhythm of the industry
• At least 18 years old with strong kitchen experience required

Schedule & Availability

This role is typically scheduled 45‑50 hours per week, with flexibility based on business needs. Open availability is strongly preferred, including a mix of AM and PM shifts, weekends, and holidays.

This is an hourly leadership role based on experience. Compensation details will be discussed during the interview process.

Why Join Dish Society?

• A meaningful mission — focused on quality ingredients, local sourcing, and doing things the right way
