Full job description

A dynamic restaurant and cocktail lounge located in one of Ontario’s most vibrant tourism markets is seeking an experienced Kitchen Manager to join its leadership team. This high-volume, full-service operation features approximately 140 seats, including covered heated patio and seasonal outdoor dining space, and continues to experience strong year-over-year growth. Operating across multiple dayparts — breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, late-night programming, private events, and catering — the business blends energy, entertainment, and strong culinary execution. This is an opportunity for a highly hands-on culinary leader who thrives in fast-paced environments and leads confidently from the line.

This is an operational leadership role where presence matters. The Kitchen Manager will spend the majority of their time actively leading service, driving performance, maintaining standards, and building culture within the kitchen. The kitchen footprint requires thoughtful systems, strong organization, and disciplined labour management. The successful candidate will take ownership of back-of-house execution while partnering closely with front-of-house leadership to ensure seamless guest experiences. The ownership style is entrepreneurial and engaged, with clear expectations around accountability and performance. Leaders are empowered to take responsibility and think long-term.

Base salary range of $70,000–$80,000 plus substantial incentives

Description

Lead daily kitchen operations across multiple dayparts
Maintain disciplined labour and food cost controls
Build and refine prep and service systems within a compact footprint
Ensure consistency, quality, and efficient execution
Recruit, train, and develop a strong culinary team
Support private events and catering execution
Collaborate with ownership and front-of-house leadership
Drive operational improvements and financial accountability

Requirements

Who You Are

A highly hands-on operator who leads from the line
Calm and composed under pressure
Systems-oriented and organized
Strong in labour management and food cost control
Financially literate and accountable
Grounded, high-integrity leader
Focused on long-term team building and culture

Experience Required

3–5+ years of progressive kitchen leadership experience
High-volume restaurant experience required
Multi-unit or hotel food and beverage background considered an asset
Culinary certification not required
Red Seal not required

Corporate Culture

This is a fun, tight-knit, high-accountability environment where performance matters. The team culture is energetic and guest-focused, supported by engaged ownership and team recognition initiatives. Leaders who think like owners and execute with discipline will thrive here.
