WOW! Thanks for your interest in joining our team. We hope to see you working with us to make a difference and impact more than just customers.

The Kitchen Department Manager ensures great quality food, fast service, food safety, controlled food cost, and that kitchen staff are trained in production procedures, including new menu items.
