Ready to Take the Next Step in Your Culinary Career?

Mass Appeal Draught House & Grille is the newest hospitality concept from Hendler Family Brewing Company, bringing together award-winning local beer, elevated New England comfort food, and an energetic atmosphere in the heart of Patriot Place.

We’re looking for more than someone to manage a kitchen.

We’re looking for someone who wants to help build one.

Whether you're an experienced Kitchen Manager looking for your next challenge or a talented Sous Chef ready for your first leadership role, this is an opportunity to help shape a growing concept while working alongside an experienced hospitality leadership team.

You’ll report directly to an experienced General Manager who oversees the daily operation of the restaurant while partnering closely with our Director of Culinary, who leads menu development, culinary standards, recipe development, and training across all Hendler Family Brewing Company hospitality locations.

That means you’ll have the support, mentorship, and resources of a larger hospitality organization while still having real ownership over your kitchen, your team, and your operation.

Mass Appeal is designed to be different.

We’re a neighborhood restaurant, brewery, and gathering place located inside Patriot Place.

Some days our dining room is packed with guests attending Patriots games, concerts, and major events. Other days are quieter, allowing us to focus on delivering exceptional hospitality to our growing base of local regulars.

Success here isn't simply about surviving the rush.

It’s about building a kitchen that performs exceptionally well every single day.

The leader we’re looking for understands that great operations aren't built only during busy services— they're built through preparation, organization, coaching, smart inventory management, and disciplined cost control.

This is a hands‑on leadership position for someone who enjoys building people just as much as building great food.

You’ll be responsible for leading the day‑to‑day operation of the kitchen while creating an environment where consistency, teamwork, accountability, and hospitality thrive.

You’ll execute the culinary vision established by our Director of Culinary while working closely with the General Manager to ensure every guest has an exceptional experience.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys:

Leading from the front.

Coaching and developing kitchen teams.

Creating organized systems that make service easier.

Managing food cost, labor, and inventory responsibly.

Building a positive culture where people enjoy coming to work.

Taking pride in consistently delivering outstanding food.

This position reports directly to the General Manager, who leads the overall restaurant operation.

You’ll also work closely with our Director of Culinary, who provides company‑wide culinary leadership, menu development, recipe standards, training, and ongoing mentorship.

As Kitchen Manager, you’ll bring that vision to life by leading your kitchen team, maintaining consistency, controlling costs, and ensuring every guest receives an exceptional meal.

Lead all daily back‑of‑house operations.

Hire, coach, develop, and inspire a high‑performing kitchen team.

Foster a culture built around accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

Lead by example on the line and during service.

Execute recipes and…
