Job Description

Are you a leader who thrives in both the heat of the kitchen and the energy of the dining room? Do you believe great food and great service go hand in hand—whether it’s 12 AM or 12 PM? If you’re passionate about building a community through exceptional hospitality and high-quality food, we want you on our team.

We cultivate a culture of belonging and connection between staff, guests, the city and surrounding community. We care about how our spaces make people feel - we aim to delight, inspire, comfort, and nourish

We’re looking for a Manager of Culinary and Hospitality, a leader who will oversee kitchen operations with the precision of a chef, drive service with the presence of a manager, and command the pass like a top-tier expediter. This person will champion a culture of belonging, delight, inspiration, community, and inclusion—with a strong commitment to uplifting the LGBTQ+ community and women.

What You’ll Do:

• Oversee both kitchen operations and front-of-house culture, ensuring they work in sync.
• Lead all hiring efforts, especially for BOH positions.
• Act as Executive Chef, leading BOH with efficiency, organization, and a deep respect for quality food.
• Develop and manage menus for two restaurant concepts simultaneously.
• Function as Expediter, ensuring every plate is executed to perfection and every shift runs smoothly.
• Maintain the same high standards of service from lunch through late-night—every guest, every time.
• Create new menu items seasonally and as you see fit with primary creative control! Be excited to push the kitchen to perform at a high level, be creative and maintain quality and consistency.
• Drive a strong, positive, and professional culture among both FOH and BOH teams to create a cohesive culture of mutual respect, collaboration, kindness, cleanliness
• Mentor and develop team members, teaching skills and building up the next generation of leaders.
• Foster and encourage community connections for hosting public events, music, themed parties (Mardi Gras, Halloween, Pride are already established).
• Balance hard skills (kitchen operations, ordering, efficiency) with soft skills (leadership, mentorship, and guest experience).

What We’re Looking For:

• A seasoned professional who thrives in both the kitchen and on the floor, handling service, leadership, and operations with equal ease.
• Someone with a high work ethic who takes ownership and pushes themselves (so much so, we might have to say, “Hey, slow down, buddy”).
• A self-motivated leader who balances high standards with a positive, team-first mentality.
• A problem solver who stays cool under pressure and finds solutions on the fly.
• Someone who understands and loves late-night service—ensuring consistency, quality, and hospitality all the way through closing.
• A mentor and builder—excited to grow their team, teach skills, and create a kitchen where people want to work.
• A strategic thinker who can manage operations but also values the people-side of the business just as much.
• Someone who sees this as an opportunity to grow with a company that will invest in them.

What We Offer:

We designed this position to amplify the growth and creative expression of the right person. We want to invest in you so that you can grow with and beyond us. In addition to a competitive salary we include a variety of stipends and are always open to discussing a more personalized compensation package. The basics include:

• Salary Range: $70,000 - 80,000 depending on experience, room to grow!
• PTO for Vacation, Sickness, Personal Reasons etc.
• Performance bonuses with regular discussions to ensure fairness and clarity.
• Research, Competition, Education, and Travel Stipends
• Huge potential for career growth. We sincerely want to see you grow and will empower you to do so consistently.

This isn’t a traditional “manager” role and we’ve never really had one. But it’s a leadership role for someone who naturally takes ownership, leads by example, and wants to help build something special.

Sound like you? Let’s talk.
