Culinary Manager

Wilmington, DE Full-Time | $75,000–$85,000 base + quarterly bonus

Exciting Culinary Leadership Opportunity

We are seeking a hands-on Culinary Manager for a high-volume restaurant in Wilmington, DE. This role is ideal for a strong kitchen leader who thrives in fast-paced operations, knows how to build and develop teams, and takes pride in delivering excellent food quality and execution. Offering $75,000–$85,000 base plus quarterly bonus, strong benefits, and growth opportunity, this is an exciting chance to join a dynamic hospitality-driven environment.

This role offers the chance to be part of a vibrant, hospitality-driven concept known for its lively atmosphere, scratch-made food, strong culture, and commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience.

The Role

The Culinary Manager will oversee all back-of-house operations while also acting as a key member of the overall management team by supporting front-of-house leadership during scheduled management shifts.

This is a highly visible leadership role for someone who can balance kitchen execution, team development, cost controls, and daily operations while helping create a seamless experience for both guests and staff.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Back of House Leadership

  • Oversee daily kitchen operations and ensure smooth execution during every shift
  • Build and manage kitchen schedules based on business needs
  • Handle ordering, receiving, inventory, and product controls
  • Manage food cost, labor cost, and kitchen budgets
  • Maintain equipment and ensure the kitchen is operating efficiently
  • Uphold recipe consistency, presentation standards, and food quality
  • Ensure compliance with food safety, sanitation, and operational procedures
  • Recruit, train, coach, and develop back-of-house team members
  • Create a culture of accountability, urgency, professionalism, and teamwork

Front of House Support

  • Step into front-of-house management shifts as part of the leadership team
  • Help direct service flow during busy periods
  • Support service standards and guest satisfaction
  • Maintain strong communication between front and back of house
  • Partner with the leadership team to ensure smooth overall operations

What Were Looking For

  • Previous experience in a Culinary Manager, Kitchen Manager, Executive Sous Chef, or similar leadership role
  • Strong background in high-volume restaurant operations
  • Experience with scheduling, ordering, inventory, labor management, and food cost controls
  • Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop teams in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
  • Solid knowledge of food safety and sanitation standards
  • Professional, dependable, and results-driven mindset
  • Open availability, including nights, weekends, and holidays

The Ideal Candidate

  • Leads from the front and stays actively involved in the day-to-day operation
  • Brings strong kitchen leadership with a team-first mentality
  • Knows how to hold standards while keeping morale high
  • Is comfortable working across both BOH and FOH leadership responsibilities
  • Takes ownership, solves problems quickly, and thrives in a fast-moving environment
  • Wants to grow with a strong restaurant team and make an immediate impact

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than just a kitchen leadership job — it is an opportunity to join a busy, team-oriented restaurant where strong leaders are valued, growth is encouraged, and great hospitality starts with great people.
