Kitchen Manager


Description
The Best Things in Life are made from Scratch

In the South, we take our food seriously. Cooking food isn’t just a means to fuel ourselves - it’s a matter of pride. At Spring Chicken we take this to heart. That’s why we start with better ingredients and fresh produce to bring out the quality of our recipes. Recipes that have been handed down for generations.

And that is where the heart of our story lies: fresh, honest flavors made with premium ingredients. Anyone can get locally sourced produce, but not everyone can take that produce and create a meal so gosh darn delicious you feel jealous of yourself for getting the privilege of consuming it. We proudly make everything from scratch in–house everyday, from our secret recipe sauces to our fine fried chicken. Sure, it’s the hard way. We could cut corners and save a nickle. But the food won’t taste as good. And when it comes to honoring the flavors of our Southern roots, we refuse to compromise

The Kitchen Manager (KM) is responsible for the overall operations for the back of house and kitchen area of a restaurant. Kitchen managers hire staff, purchase food and stock, and make sure everyone is trained on proper food preparation and kitchen safety techniques. In addition, kitchen managers ensure that the company’s standards are upheld: the food looks good and is cooked properly, the proportions are correct, and it is cooked and served quickly. Kitchen managers also make sure that the kitchen is properly cleaned on a regular schedule, food is disposed of properly and the kitchen meets all sanitary standards.

KM is also responsible for keeping tabs on food cost, waste and employee hours, doing their best to optimize profit for their company and create the best dining experience possible for customers.

Duties and Responsibilities
• Customer-Service: Kitchen managers might have to interact with customers. Being friendly and courteous will help keep customers coming back.
• Attention to Detail: Kitchen managers have to keep their eyes on a lot of elements: food standards, costs, safety, etc.
• Leadership: Kitchen managers must be leaders in the back of house, rallying their team during heavy shifts, resolving conflicts and getting the job done.
• Management Skills: Kitchen managers not only deal with food, they also have to deal with costs, pricing, creating work schedules and more.
• Organizational Skills: Keeping work schedules, shipments, cleaning schedules and more organized is crucial to the job.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Dealing with employee conflict, irate customers and wrong stock orders is part of a kitchen managers job.
• Being able to come up with a solution quickly is a needed skill.
• Speaking Skills: Kitchen managers need to accurately and easily communicate standards and cooking methods to staff, give orders and speak with customers clearly.
• Stamina: Kitchen managers can expect long days around hot cooking elements, much of it on their feet.
