The Mission

At Boondocks, our Kitchen Leads are the engine of the operation. You aren’t just a manager—you are a high-capacity leader who sets the pace, holds the line, and ensures every plate meets our "Guest-Ready" standard. We need someone who thrives on the floor, manages the "lulls" with productivity, and masters the rush with poise.

• Drive the Standard: Oversee daily kitchen operations with a "hands-on" approach. You lead from the front, whether you’re on the line or managing the pass.
• Operational Precision: Manage weekly inventories, meet cost-of-sales goals, and ensure all deliveries are received and rotated (FIFO) perfectly.
• Safety & Compliance: Maintain elite sanitation levels and adhere to all FDA/USDA and local regulations. You are the "Safe-Certified" expert on every shift.
• Team Leadership: Conduct weekly safety meetings and lead the culinary team to success through clear communication and consistent coaching.

What You Bring

• Proven Experience: 2+ years of supervisory experience in high-volume restaurants or hotels.
• The "Owner" Mentality: A sense of urgency to identify and report kitchen-related issues to the Chef or GM immediately.
• Technical Skill: Deep knowledge of food safety (ServSafe Certified) and a background in catering/events is a major plus.
• Flexibility: You are the leader for our busiest times—nights, weekends, and holidays are part of the mission.

The Perks

• Invested Growth: Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) opportunities.
• Stability: Health, dental, and vision plans (Full-Time after 60 days).
• Work-Life Extras: Potential for paid vacation and holidays.
• Play: Employee discounts on park food and attractions + "Bravo Bucks" rewards.
