WE’RE HIRING: KITCHEN MANAGER AT NINA’S BRUNCH RESTAURANT (KENSINGTON MARKET)

Nina’s is a brand-new Irish-owned brunch spot in the heart of Kensington Market, celebrating Ontario produce, homemade products, and heartfelt service. We’re looking for an experienced Kitchen Manager to help us lay the foundation.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

As Kitchen Manager, you’ll be the engine behind our back-of-house operations. You’ll work hand-in-hand with the owner/operator to implement structure, streamline service, and create a welcoming, high-functioning kitchen environment from day one.
This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of systems, help build a dream team, and bring structure to a brand-new space with big ambition.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Lead the setup and day-to-day running of the kitchen
• Develop and implement kitchen systems, prep routines, and service flow
• Hire, train, and mentor line cooks and kitchen staff
• Ensure consistent food quality and presentation, with a particular emphasis on brunch classics (yes — we’re serious about eggs!)
• Work closely with the operator to coordinate FOH/BOH communication and timing
• Monitor kitchen inventory, waste, and costs
• Champion a culture of respect, cleanliness, and continuous improvement
