Employment – Kitchen Manager

Kitchen Manager

Lead back-of-house for a clean, calm, scratch-made kitchen. Real food, no drama.

We’re hiring a Kitchen Manager to run daily operations in our scratch-cooked food business in Florence, SC. This is a hands-on role focused on systems, schedules, and team leadership, not a culinary director position.

You’ll manage prep flow, inventory, and a small back-of-house team while helping ensure everything leaving the kitchen meets our standards for quality, consistency, and food safety. You’ll also prep or cook as needed to support the daily flow.

We’re not a high-drama restaurant. We’re a steady, well-run kitchen with a commitment to real food, clear communication, and doing things the right way. This is a great role for someone who values a supportive team, efficient systems, and meaningful work.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee daily prep and production for grab-and-go and cafe items

• Build and manage prep schedules that keep the kitchen running smoothly

• Handle ordering, inventory, and vendor relationships

• Conduct quality checks and ensure food safety protocols are met

• Track product usage and waste; recommend improvements as needed

• Supervise, train, and support a small kitchen team

• Monitor equipment and alert management if maintenance or repairs are needed

• Help maintain a clean, organized, food-safe kitchen

What We’re Looking For

• Experience managing a kitchen or BOH team

• Organized, dependable, and calm under pressure

• Strong communication skills and working knowledge of food costing

• Collaborative leadership style with high standards

• Fluent in English (spoken and written)

• Must be able to lift 30 lb and work on your feet

• Closed-toe shoes and apron required

Schedule & Compensation

• Full-time, 40 hours/week

• Flexible scheduling (early, late, or split shifts)

• $40,000/year salary

• 1 week paid time off + 6 national holidays off

• 25% employee discount
