Full job description

Kitchen Manager

Confidential – Established Multi-Location Restaurant Group

Overview

We are seeking a highly organized, systems-driven Kitchen Manager to lead back-of-house operations in a high-volume, full-service restaurant.

This is not a “creative chef” role.

We are looking for an operational leader who understands cost control, labour management, prep systems, accountability, and consistency. The right candidate thrives on structure, performance metrics, and building disciplined kitchen teams.

If you are passionate about food but equally passionate about systems, numbers, and team development — this role offers long-term growth within a stable and expanding restaurant group.

What You Will Be Responsible ForOperational Leadership

Build and enforce kitchen systems that ensure consistency and efficiency
Create structured prep lists and production schedules based on sales forecasts
Maintain organized storage, labeling, rotation, and sanitation standards
Ensure execution standards are met every shift

Food & Labour Cost Control

Manage food cost targets through portion control, inventory management, and waste reduction
Conduct regular inventory counts and variance analysis
Build weekly schedules aligned with labour budgets
Actively manage daily labour percentages

Team Development & Accountability

Train and mentor line cooks and prep staff
Set clear expectations and performance standards
Address performance issues promptly and professionally
Build a culture of ownership and pride within the kitchen

Inventory & Ordering

Manage supplier relationships and ordering processes
Monitor pricing fluctuations and adjust purchasing accordingly
Maintain accurate par levels and prep systems

Compliance & Standards

Enforce all food safety and sanitation requirements
Ensure kitchen cleanliness and organization at all times
Maintain proper documentation and operational checklists

Who You Are

4+ years in a leadership role within a high-volume restaurant
Strong understanding of food cost percentages and labour targets
Comfortable reading P&L statements and managing controllables
Highly organized and process-oriented
Direct, clear communicator
Calm under pressure
Hands-on leader who leads by example
Committed to accountability and continuous improvement

Red Seal certification is an asset but not required. Operational strength and leadership matter more than credentials.

What This Role Is Not

Not a creative-only chef position
Not a “run service and go home” job
Not a passive management role

This is a leadership position responsible for building a disciplined, efficient, high-performing kitchen.

What We Offer

Competitive salary based on experience
Performance-based advancement opportunities
Stable ownership with long-term growth plans
Opportunity to help build scalable systems within a growing restaurant group

Pay: $55,000.00-$65,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental care
Discounted or free food
On-site parking
Paid time off
Store discount

Experience:

Head Chef/ KM: 2 years (preferred)

Licence/Certification:

FoodSafe (preferred)

Location:

Victoria, BC (preferred)

Work Location: In person
