Lead Our Fast Casual Kitchen—No Late Nights, Holidays Off



Montgomery, OH | Competitive Salary + Bonus



Finally: a kitchen leadership role that respects your time.



Step into a fast-paced environment where you'll direct every element of production—training your team, managing quality, controlling costs—without the soul-crushing schedule that defines most kitchen careers. We run a high-volume fast casual operation that demands excellence, and we've built it to reward the people leading it. This is the kitchen job where ambition and real life don't have to compete.



Why You'll Love This Opportunity



  • Salary of $59,000–$69,000 annually, plus performance bonus potential.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance included.
  • 401(k) plan and generous paid time off.
  • Every holiday with your family—no working Thanksgiving or Christmas.
  • Clear path to advance your culinary leadership career.


What You'll Do



  • Oversee all kitchen operations and food quality standards.
  • Train, mentor, and schedule your cooking team.
  • Manage inventory, food costs, and vendor relationships.
  • Ensure food safety compliance and health code standards.
  • Partner with management to drive consistent results.


What We're Looking For



  • 3+ years leading kitchen teams in fast-paced restaurants.
  • Proven expertise in high-volume food production and quality.
  • Food safety certification or strong safety knowledge.
  • Ability to motivate and develop kitchen staff.
  • Adaptable problem-solver who thrives under pressure.


If you're a kitchen leader tired of missing life outside work, apply now—we'd love to talk.
