Role Overview

The Kitchen Manager runs day-to-day production at the Chantilly commissary kitchen, supplying cold and hot meals to a number of school partners across the DC-area market.

What Success Looks Like

  • The commissary runs smoothly every production day — on time, on standard, no surprises
  • Labor stays at or below budget every week
  • Waste is tracked and trending down
  • All schools served receive food on time, at temperature, and to Yay quality standards

What We're Looking For

  • 2–4 years of kitchen or food production experience — you know how to run a shift and lead a team
  • Hands-on cook and leader, comfortable working the line
  • Experience with cold and hot batch production, food safety, and inventory management
  • Strong people skills and a track record of holding a team accountable
  • ServSafe certification or willingness to obtain within 30 days of hire
  • Must be based in Chantilly or within commuting distance

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
