• Manage labor, food cost, inventory, purchasing, and waste to achieve financial goals.
• Analyze restaurant performance and implement strategies to improve profitability.
• Partner with Front-of-House leaders to create a seamless guest experience.
• Recruit, hire, onboard, and retain top culinary talent.
• Foster a culture where team members are engaged, challenged, and empowered to grow.

• A well-trained, engaged, and accountable kitchen team.
• Consistent execution of food quality and operational standards.
• Strong labor and food cost performance.
• High team retention and internal promotions.
• Guests who leave impressed by the quality, consistency, and experience we deliver.
