- Oversee food safety by completing and verifying temperature checks, cooling reports, and digital logs; conduct sanitation walks and enforce allergen-handling and HACCP protocols.
- Manage inventory and ordering by running counts, receiving deliveries, verifying against invoices, flagging variances, and placing orders as directed.
- Monitor food and labor costs through portioning, yield, and waste controls, identifying cost drivers.
- Lead opening line checks and closing procedures, ensuring checklists are complete, equipment is properly shut down, and the facility is secured.
- Take day-to-day leadership of the kitchen in the absence of the Chef de Cuisine.
