The Back of House (BOH) Leader role at Dish Society Heights is designed for experienced kitchen professionals who are passionate about leadership and hands-on cooking.

Compensation is hourly and commensurate with experience, with details discussed during the interview process.

The BOH Leader acts as the backbone of kitchen operations, responsible for maintaining high standards of food quality, consistency, and presentation. This role demands a proactive leader who can effectively coordinate kitchen flow in real time by managing ticket times, team communication, and positioning to ensure seamless service. In addition to managing the pace of the kitchen, the BOH Leader provides direct coaching and development to team members, reinforcing recipes, operational standards, and efficiency best practices.

Other core responsibilities include inventory awareness and support for ordering, all aimed at keeping the kitchen fully prepared and organized for service. The BOH Leader also plays a vital role in kitchen readiness through opening and closing procedures that ensure cleanliness and compliance with sanitation standards. Partnering closely with front-of-house leadership, the BOH Leader helps to guarantee a positive guest experience through strong coordination and problem-solving during service.
