The Executive Kitchen Manager (Multi-Unit) role at Crust Concepts is a pivotal leadership position that oversees the back-of-house (BOH) operations across multiple restaurant locations throughout Arizona. This position is uniquely designed for an experienced kitchen professional who excels in managing teams, streamlining kitchen systems, and maintaining operational standards across several units simultaneously. Unlike a typical kitchen role, this leadership opportunity emphasizes strategic management as well as hands-on involvement, ensuring that all BOH operations align with the company’s high standards. The Executive Kitchen Manager will lead, coach, and develop Kitchen Managers and their BOH teams, ensuring consistent excellence in food quality, execution, and presentation across the brand’s locations.

The role requires a deep understanding of kitchen operations, systems, food costing, and labor management to drive efficiency and profitability. The Executive Kitchen Manager is also tasked with supporting new store openings, training initiatives, onboarding processes, and organizational development. This position demands an individual who is not only detail-oriented and organized but who also projects a strong leadership presence capable of inspiring and holding teams accountable. Experience in high-volume scratch kitchens, particularly with pizza operations, is highly preferred to ensure the delivery of authentic, high-quality offerings.

Compensation for this role is competitive, ranging from $80,000 to $90,000 annually, reflecting the strategic importance and complexity of multi-location oversight. In addition to a rewarding leadership position, Crust Concepts offers a comprehensive benefits package including dental and health insurance, vision coverage, paid time off, employee discounts, and paid training. This workplace is committed to fostering a supportive and team-driven culture where individual contributions are valued, and leadership has direct impact across all operational facets of the company.
