Our mission is simple: to create Happier and Healthier Communities by spreading the joy of Chinese-American fare and tradition.

Description

You will set the pace and tone on the line, ensure the team is executing to standard, and be the go-to person for quality control, prep organization, inventory, and communication with leadership.

• Maintain clean and organized back-of-house and trash areas
• Ensure timely break schedules for all kitchen staff
• Write production schedules and communicate daily priorities
• Support catering prep and execution as needed
• Collaborate with FOH leadership to ensure smooth service
• Lead training of new kitchen team members
• Foster a positive, respectful team environment through strong leadership and accountability
  
  

Qualifications

• 2+ years kitchen experience, including at least 6 months in a leadership or supervisory role
• Experience on the line and in prep across multiple stations
• Strong sense of urgency and pride in maintaining high standards
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and delegation skills
• Calm under pressure and able to manage competing priorities
• Current California Food Handler's Certificate (or willingness to obtain one with our help)
• Proficient in speaking both English and Spanish
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and stand for extended periods
