The role being advertised is a Kitchen Supervisor position. This position is crucial for overseeing all kitchen operations, ensuring food preparation meets strict quality standards, and maintaining a sanitary and efficient kitchen environment. The Kitchen Supervisor is directly responsible for the supervision of food purchasing, preparation, and the overall maintenance of quality standards within the kitchen. This individual will play a key role in training kitchen employees on cooking methods, food preparation, plate presentation, portion control, cost control, and sanitation standards. The role demands a hands-on approach where the supervisor actively participates in menu item preparation and final plate presentation. Emphasis is placed on consistency in portion sizes, adherence to recipes, and the execution of cooking methods.

Physical fitness is necessary due to the demands of the job, which includes standing for extended periods and lifting up to 40 pounds. The work schedule may involve long hours, and the supervisor must be resilient and capable of managing this demanding pace.
Overall, this position is ideal for individuals with a strong background in kitchen preparation and cooking, who are passionate about maintaining high food quality and cleanliness standards. It offers the chance to lead a kitchen team, contribute to operational improvements, and ensure an exceptional dining experience for customers. Candidates with at least two years of kitchen experience and a minimum of six months in a supervisory or similar capacity will find this role fulfilling and challenging.
