Itsu Kitchen Manager

Scoffs - Itsu | Kitchen Manager

Lead the kitchen. Feed the city.

We're looking for a hands‑on Kitchen Manager who lives and breathes great food — someone who takes pride in every plate, leads a tight‑knit team and keeps the heart of our restaurant beating.

• People — Build a skilled, passionate kitchen crew. You'll coach, train and develop every chef and food pro, creating a team that genuinely cares about what they make.
• Hospitality — Great food is hospitality. You'll make sure the kitchen delivers beautiful, consistent food from open to close — because every customer deserves their best bite.
• Quality — You're the guardian of our recipes, our standards and our kitchen. Correct‑to‑recipe, food safe, spotlessly clean — no compromises.
• Profitability — From prep planning to portioning, ordering to waste, you'll run a smart, efficient kitchen that never sacrifices quality for cost.

• Running the kitchen day to day — production, prep, service and close.
• Making sure every dish leaves the kitchen exactly as it should, every time.
• Owning the production plan and adjusting it to hit availability without piling up waste.
• Ordering ingredients smartly to keep the kitchen stocked and waste low.
• Leading on food safety — FIFO, date codes, due diligence and a 5‑star EHO rating as the standard.
• Developing your team through hands‑on training, regular 1‑2‑1s and real progression pathways.
• Smashing mystery shopper scores with consistently brilliant food and kitchen standards.
• Keeping a kitchen so clean it gleams — CATC and CAYG are second nature to you.

• Gets a buzz from a fast, well‑run kitchen.
• Holds the standard even when it's busy and the pressure is on.
• Takes real pride in the food that goes out — every single order.
• Spots what needs fixing and just sorts it.
