Kitchen Manager / Sous Chef

50,000 – 70,000 / year

Immediate opening — interviewing this week. We're a chef-owned restaurant group looking for a hands-on kitchen leader to run operations at our two locations: 322 BBQ, a BBQ and catering kitchen in Mullica Hill, NJ, and Hill Donut Co. & Pancake House, a breakfast, brunch, and bakery operation in North Wilmington, DE. This is not a clipboard job and it's not a micromanaged one. You'll run a largely autonomous kitchen with real input into the menu and the direction of both restaurants. If you've been waiting for a role where your ideas actually get used, this is it. This is a daytime job. No late nights. We're built around breakfast, lunch, brunch, and catering, and we want someone who wants a real life outside the kitchen. What you'll do: • Lead kitchen operations across both locations (about a 35 to 40 minute drive apart) • Run your kitchen with real autonomy: your systems, your standards, your team • Contribute directly to menu development, specials, and the overall direction of the restaurants • Hire, train, and develop prep, line, and bakery teams • Maintain quality, consistency, and presentation standards • Own ordering, inventory, food cost, and vendor relationships • Uphold food safety and sanitation protocols • Solve problems quickly and keep service running smoothly
