Atlanta Area | Full-Time

$50,000 - $75,000 Based on Experience

Great Kitchens Don't Run Themselves. Great Leaders Do.

At MooCoo Group, we don't just operate restaurants—we build neighborhood gathering places where incredible food, genuine hospitality, and strong teams come together every day.

With multiple successful concepts throughout Metro Atlanta, we're always looking for exceptional leaders who understand that consistency isn't accidental—it is created through leadership, accountability, and attention to detail.

  • Labor Management
  • Inventory Control
  • Waste Reduction
  • Purchasing
  • Profit & Loss Statements
• Someone who believes every shift should be "Health Department Ready"

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Lead, coach, and develop all Back of House team members.
• Hire, train, and retain top culinary talent.
• Manage daily kitchen operations with consistency, urgency, and attention to detail.
• Execute recipes, specifications, and presentation standards exactly as designed.
• Order, receive, rotate, and maintain accurate inventory levels.
• Monitor food cost, labor cost, and waste to achieve company goals.
• Complete daily line checks, taste and temperature checks, prep verification, and quality audits.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and Health Department-ready kitchen at all times.
• Ensure all food safety and sanitation standards meet or exceed local health regulations.
• Create efficient schedules while maintaining labor goals.
• Partner with the General Manager to drive operational excellence.
• Hold yourself and your team accountable to company standards every shift.

The Leader We're Looking For

You believe:

• Standards matter.
• Details matter.
• Cleanliness matters.
• Systems matter.
• People matter.
• You don't walk past problems—you solve them.
• You coach instead of complain.
• You lead by example.
• You understand that consistency is what separates great restaurants from average ones.
