Job Description

My Fit Foods is a rapidly expanding healthy meal-prep company committed to making nutritious, chef-prepared meals both convenient and accessible to customers across various markets. Founded with the vision to promote health and wellness through great culinary experiences, My Fit Foods operates high-volume production kitchens where fresh meals are skillfully prepared daily for delivery to their stores and direct customers. Their growth trajectory has created a dynamic environment for professionals who aspire to be part of a mission-driven organization that combines excellent food quality with strong operational standards and outstanding team collaboration. This combination has positioned My Fit Foods as a leader in the meal-prep industry, focused on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction.

The role of Kitchen Manager - Training & Development in Houston, TX, offers a unique opportunity beyond the traditional kitchen management role. With an annual salary range of $60,000 to $80,000, this position is designed for a seasoned kitchen leader who thrives in a high-volume production environment and wishes to extend their impact beyond their location. The successful candidate will primarily lead the daily operations of a high-performing kitchen in Houston while playing a pivotal role in training, developing, and supporting kitchen teams across other markets. This includes occasional travel to assist with new kitchen openings and ensure maintenance of consistent culinary and operational standards across all My Fit Foods locations.

This role is not just about managing; it is about teaching and developing people, sharing best practices, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Candidates are expected to bring strong cooking skills, exceptional knife proficiency, and experience with commercial kitchen equipment such as tilt skillets and other large-batch cooking tools. A thorough understanding of food quality, portion control, safety, sanitation, and production management is critical. Furthermore, candidates must demonstrate excellent communication skills and the ability to work with diverse teams and cultures. A bilingual ability in English and Spanish is highly preferred, reflecting the company’s inclusive workforce and broad customer base.

My Fit Foods places great emphasis on growth mindset and flexibility, seeking individuals who are eager to take ownership, work hard, and contribute to building a strong leadership bench as the company expands. This role offers exposure to cross-market collaboration, travel opportunities, and a platform for professional growth within a supportive and fast-paced environment. Candidates will be trained extensively on My Fit Foods’ recipes, production systems, and operational standards, allowing them to focus on applying their fundamental kitchen leadership skills to excel and eventually teach others their systems.

This emerging position embodies My Fit Foods' commitment to nurturing talent internally while scaling up operations effectively. It is ideal for those looking for more than a standard managerial role; it is for those who want to be part of something bigger—helping shape the future of a company dedicated to healthful eating and operational excellence. If you are a motivated kitchen leader with a passion for food, training, and development, and a desire for a challenging yet rewarding role within a growing company, My Fit Foods invites you to apply and join their journey.
