Job Description
Mighty Quinn's BBQ is an innovative and fast-growing fast-casual barbecue restaurant that stands out in the food industry for offering authentic BBQ experiences with a modern twist. Founded with the vision to bring high-quality, slow-smoked barbeque to customers in a convenient setting, Mighty Quinn's has quickly become one of the fastest expanding BBQ brands nationwide. The restaurant takes pride in serving only all-naturally raised meats, complemented by chef-driven side dishes and a curated selection of craft beers. Each meat offering is slowly smoked over a blend of oak, cherry, and apple wood, ensuring a memorable and unique flavor profile that delights BBQ enthusiasts and casual diners alike. The company embraces a commitment to quality, tradition, and innovation, making it a leader in the fast casual BBQ scene.
As a Pitmaster/Kitchen Manager at Mighty Quinn's BBQ, you will embody the brand's ethos and lead the kitchen team to deliver an exceptional dining experience. This full-time position plays a critical role in day-to-day restaurant operations, bridging the gap between food preparation and guest satisfaction. Reporting directly to the General Manager, you will oversee all aspects of food production, quality assurance, and employee management within the kitchen. Your responsibilities will include maintaining strict adherence to the company's recipes and safety standards, managing inventory and vendor relationships, and assisting the front-of-house team to ensure seamless service delivery.
This position offers competitive pay ranging from $20.00 to $25.00 per hour, reflecting the significance of the role in sustaining the restaurant's reputation for excellence. You will be part of an energetic team dedicated to maintaining a clean, safe, and productive work environment, fostering open communication, and encouraging staff development. The schedule includes a mix of day and night shifts with 10- to 12-hour shifts, covering weekdays and weekends to meet operational needs.
The ideal candidate will have at least three years of cooking experience in a sous chef role or similar culinary position, preferably with exposure to cook-chill systems. A high school diploma or equivalent is required, and a culinary degree is preferred, alongside a Serve Safe certification. Physical stamina and the ability to handle the demands of a busy kitchen environment, including lifting heavy items and standing for extended periods, are essential.
Mighty Quinn's mission centers on sourcing the finest ingredients and respecting traditional barbeque techniques while embracing modern culinary craftsmanship. This approach results in slow-smoked BBQ that honors Southern heritage but is distinctly influenced by its New York origins. The Pitmaster/Kitchen Manager acts not only as a leader but as a guardian of this culinary tradition, ensuring that each dish satisfies the high standards that define Mighty Quinn's BBQ. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a growing brand that values quality, authenticity, and an outstanding customer experience.
