What You Bring to the Table

• The Foundation: You have prior kitchen or culinary management experience. You understand the heat, the pace, and the precision required in a professional kitchen.
• The Spirit: You have a charismatic, servant-leader heart. You lead by example and find joy in brightening the lives of your team and your guests.
• The Mindset: You are obsessed with the details—from the temperature of the oil to the smile on a team member's face.
• The Drive: You thrive on growth and are excited by the challenge of leading one of the busiest kitchens in the nation.
