Description

Untitled is a contemporary, shareable-plates restaurant . We care about food that’s craveable, service that’s confident and warm, and a kitchen culture that’s coaching-first and zero-drama. We’re part of a multi-venue group with active menu development and private dining
The Role
You’ll be the Chef’s right hand—driving tastings, shaping seasonal changes, and turning ideas into clean, repeatable execution. This is a hands-on, leadership seat with ownership over nightly service and the close.

Key Responsibilities

  • Run service and lead the nightly close (primary closer ~4–5 shifts/week): break down stations, filter oil, temp/cooling logs, waste log, walk-in/labeling, next-day prep/pars, maintenance tickets, DNL entry, and final kitchen walk.
  • Call the window; coach stations; keep the pace calm and clean.
  • Organize tastings; help shape specials and seasonal updates.
  • Maintain the spec book (grams, yields, plate builds, photos) and allergen matrix.
  • Turn feedback into action: line tastings, DNL notes, small changes that make service better.
  • Support ordering/receiving/pars and vendor relationships.
  • Partner with FOH on tight talking points so the dining room can sell what we make.
  • Jump into private dining: buffets, stations, family-style—operationally tight and guest-friendly.

What Success Looks Like (first 60 days)

  • Smooth, on-time closes; a steady window on weekends.
  • Specs/photos buttoned up for every live dish; new items launch clean.
  • Real tasting cadence → visible improvements each week.
  • A trained, confident line that’s proud of the food (and the close).

Who You Are

  • 2–4 years as Sous or strong Lead in a high-volume, scratch kitchen.
  • A teacher: clear communicator, steady under pressure, respectful and direct.
  • Organized and curious—comfortable with basic costing/systems (we’ll train on Foodager/Toast).
  • Values consistency, cleanliness, and hospitality as much as creativity.
  • Night/weekend closing availability is a must.

Schedule & Comp

  • Full-time; primarily evening closing shifts; weekends required.
