Kitchen Manager

Great food. A kitchen that runs right. A team that cares.

Brewligans Public House is looking for a hands-on Kitchen Manager who takes pride in all three.

Our mission is simple: putting smiles on people’s faces every time. We’re looking for someone who can lead a busy service, develop their people, keep the kitchen organized, and take ownership of the numbers—all while making it a great place to work.

What you’ll own

• Lead by example. Set the standard for preparation, execution, cleanliness, urgency, and teamwork. Build a positive relationship between the kitchen and front of house.
• Build and coach your team. Partner with the General Manager on hiring, scheduling, and coverage. Train and cross-train your people, give clear feedback, and develop future leaders.
• Deliver consistent food. Uphold approved recipes, portions, presentation, and ticket flow. Prepare the team for menu rollouts and changes.
• Keep standards strong. Train through company-approved recipes, procedures, and checklists. Verify that the work is done correctly and address misses in the moment.
• Know your numbers. Manage food cost, kitchen labor, waste, and inventory accuracy. Investigate discrepancies, correct their causes, and meet established targets.
• Keep the kitchen ready. Own prep, ordering, receiving, rotation, food safety, and equipment upkeep. Stay ahead of shortages and communicate repair needs promptly.
• Follow through. Communicate clearly, contribute to management meetings, and make sure menus, policies, and processes are understood and followed.

Who we’re looking for

You have experience leading a restaurant kitchen and stay organized during a busy service. You’re comfortable working the line, coaching teammates, holding standards, and receiving feedback yourself.

You understand that running a kitchen means caring about the food, the people, and the costs. You take accountability, solve problems, and finish what you start. You treat people with respect and bring an attitude that makes the team better.

You’ll report to the General Manager and work with company leadership on food standards, training, and menu execution. Brewligans is part of Death Row Restaurants, a group of four distinct local restaurant and bar concepts.
