Assistant Site Manager, DashMart Kitchens

About the Team

We're looking for someone to help scale Door Dash's next billion dollar business, Dash Mart, by growing our in‑house food program, Dash Mart Kitchens. The Dash Mart Kitchens team is focused on building a new type of restaurant platform within Dash Mart, offering a broad selection of prepared foods and well‑known restaurant staples to our customers' doorsteps.

As the Assistant Site Manager (ASM) for Dash Mart Kitchens (DMK), you’ll lead the daily operations of a Door Dash‑owned kitchen located within a Dash Mart fulfillment center. You’ll oversee a team of operations associates and shift leads to ensure every meal is prepared safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.

You’ll combine hands‑on culinary leadership with operational excellence — managing staffing, scheduling, and kitchen performance while ensuring food safety, order accuracy, and team success. You’ll work closely with your Site Manager to lead multiple food concepts, improve processes, and create a great place to work. In addition to leading the kitchen, you'll be cross trained into Dash Mart operations and expected to work on both sides of the business.

This role requires strict adherence to food safety, inventory controls, and safety protocols due to routine access to food, supplies, equipment, and operational systems.

To achieve your performance targets, you’ll drive success through effective scheduling and by ensuring par levels are met, recipes are accurately executed, and best practices from across the network are deployed.

  You’ll engage cross‑functional partners as needed for support.
• Strategizing: You will analyze performance metrics, identify root causes of issues like prep gaps or order quality, and implement solutions that drive efficiency and adoption.
