Join Our Team!

We’re looking for dedicated and enthusiastic individuals to join our talented team.

As a Sous Chef Manager, you’ll play a key role in overseeing kitchen operations and leading our team to deliver exceptional food and unforgettable guest experiences. Your leadership will help ensure every shift runs smoothly and every plate exceeds expectations.

At Burtons Grill, we’re committed to excellence—not just in the food we serve, but in the environment we create for our guests and team.

We take pride in:

• A scratch kitchen using wholesome, premium ingredients
• Industry-leading protocols for food allergies and dietary restrictions, including a robust gluten-free menu
• A culture rooted in growth, creativity, and inclusion

We serve contemporary American cuisine, prepared from scratch with wholesome, premium ingredients. There’s something on our menu for everyone – from juicy burgers and bountiful salads to tender steaks, fresh seafood, and more.

We’re quality-obsessed when it comes to our food, and we’re just as passionate about our hospitality. Our dedication to making Burtons accessible to everyone is inherent in all we do. We’re well‑known for our extensive protocols for safely serving guests with food allergies and dietary restrictions, and for our gluten‑free menu.

We believe happy, fulfilled teams create extraordinary guest experiences—and we work hard to ensure both.

With New England roots, legendary service, and a chef‑inspired menu, we’ve become a favorite destination for loyal guests up and down the East Coast. Our team is committed to upholding the values of our founders and delivering exceptional service and quality every day.

What You’ll Do:

• Oversee daily operations to ensure smooth, efficient service
• Lead and support BOH team members
• Maintain a guest‑first mindset, ensuring top‑tier dining experiences
• Uphold high standards for food quality, cleanliness, and safety
• Contribute to a positive, team‑oriented work culture
• Help drive performance through training, coaching, and accountability

What You’ll Bring:

• Previous restaurant management experience (Kitchen Manager or higher preferred)
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem‑solving skills
• A passion for hospitality and delivering great guest experiences
• Knowledge of kitchen/back‑of‑house operations
• Commitment to teamwork, integrity, and continuous growth

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Health insurance and paid vacation for all full‑time employees
• Employee dining program for all team members
• Direct deposit for easy, reliable payroll
• Hands‑on training and real opportunities for career development and growth
