A Lead Role Without the Management Headaches

This position is designed for an experienced cook who is ready to take on additional responsibility and help set the standard in the kitchen - but doesn't necessarily want to manage the entire operation.

You will not be responsible for employee scheduling, inventory ordering, or full kitchen management. Instead, your focus will remain where it matters most: preparing great food, supporting your team, and helping each service run smoothly.

Why Khepri?

• Consistent full‑time hours
• Two fixed days off each week
• Performance review and raise opportunity after 90 days
• Creative, seasonal menu
• Made‑from‑scratch cooking
• Small, collaborative kitchen team
• Community‑centered environment
• Opportunity to grow as Khepri grows
