Back of House Manager / Kitchen Operations Manager

Back of House Manager / Kitchen Operations Manager
Leadership-Focused | High-Volume Restaurant | No Line Scheduling Requirement

Top Shooters is hiring an experienced Back of House Manager/Kitchen Operations Manager to lead, structure, and modernize our kitchen operations. This is a true leadership role, not a working line position. We are specifically seeking a manager who focuses on people development, systems, and operational consistency — not someone who plans to schedule themselves on the line.

This role works closely with ownership and the management team to build efficient, repeatable kitchen systems that reduce burnout, improve communication, and support long-term success in a high-volume environment.

This Role Is About Leadership — Not Line Coverage

Success in this role is measured by how well the kitchen runs without constant intervention, how effectively team members are trained and supported, and how strong the systems are behind the scenes — not by how many shifts you personally work on the line.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee overall back-of-house operations, including food quality, consistency, and execution
• Lead, train, coach, and develop kitchen staff while fostering accountability and teamwork
• Design and implement kitchen systems that improve efficiency, prep flow, and communication
• Manage labor planning, scheduling, and prep strategies with a focus on sustainability
• Maintain food safety, sanitation, and health department compliance
• Assist with inventory management, ordering, and food cost control
• Collaborate with ownership and management on continuous operational improvements
• Step in on the line when truly necessary while prioritizing leadership and oversight

What We’re Looking For

• Previous kitchen leadership experience (Kitchen Manager, BOH Manager, Sous Chef, or similar)
• Experience in high-volume restaurant operations
• Strong operational mindset with the ability to build structure and systems
• Calm, consistent, and respected leadership style
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Long-term, solutions-focused approach rather than short-term fixes

Why Top Shooters

• Supportive, engaged ownership and management team
• Leadership role with real authority and influence
• Opportunity to shape and improve kitchen operations
• Focus on efficiency to support a healthier work-life balance
• Stable, growing operation focused on long-term success

Compensation & Growth

• $46,000–$56,000 base salary, based on experience
• Eligibility for generous quarterly bonuses

• PTO

• Health/Dental/Vision Insurance
• Growth opportunities as operations continue to evolve
