As the Kitchen Equipment Program Manager, you will own the kitchen equipment procurement pipeline for Wonder’s new store openings, ensuring every site’s equipment order moves accurately and on schedule from locked design through purchase order issuance, warehousing, and invoice close-out. You will be the primary point of accountability for quotes, equipment orders, equipment installations, and punch lists across the kitchen equipment program — the first call when something needs an answer, and the person who knows exactly where every site sits in the pipeline.

In this role, you will review and approve contractor quotes against locked back-of-house drawings and any applicable design bulletins, route approved quotes through our quote management software for contract submittal, and hold the line on purchase order timing so equipment lead times are fully protected. You will manage bulk and program‑level purchases — ovens, fryers, clamshells, custom stainless steel, etc.

— track equipment through contractor warehousing, and review invoices for accuracy before they’re paid. You’ll coordinate directly with our kitchen equipment installers, equipment vendors, and internal partners across contracts, construction, and project management, and you’ll keep our program trackers accurate and current. The ideal candidate is exceptionally detail‑oriented, comfortable owning hard deadlines under real schedule pressure, and proactive about flagging risk before it becomes a missed date.

This is an opportunity to run a fast‑moving, high‑visibility piece of Wonder’s new store opening pipeline, with direct exposure to design, construction, and vendor management, and a clear, measurable impact on whether stores open on time.

Review and approve kitchen equipment installer quotes for each new store opening against the locked back-of-house drawing and any applicable design bulletins, and route approved quotes to contracts and project management for submittal. Own purchase order timing for the bulk kitchen equipment order, confirming quotes are approved early enough to protect equipment lead times and hold the installation date. Manage bulk and program‑level equipment purchases, coordinating with manufacturers, vendors, and installers on pricing, specifications, and delivery.

Track equipment through installer warehousing and flag sites where equipment is arriving early, late, or sitting longer than intended. Review vendor and installer invoices for accuracy against approved quotes and purchase orders before they’re processed. Serve as the first point of contact for questions on quotes, equipment orders, equipment installations, and punch lists, escalating internally when needed. Maintain accurate, current data in the program trackers and equipment tag number library, including quote status, purchase order numbers, drawing revisions, and key milestone dates.
