Bring your standards, your ideas, and your leadership to the kitchen.

At Social Cantina, we are looking for leaders who can bring people together around a welcoming guest experience and a team culture built on energy, care, and accountability. As Kitchen Manager, you will have a direct impact on food quality, kitchen culture, and restaurant performance.

·        Oversee food preparation, consistency, sanitation, and safe food handling.

·        Manage ordering, inventory, food cost, waste, and kitchen labor.

·        Build and adjust kitchen schedules in partnership with restaurant leadership.

·        Improve kitchen workflows, communication, and collaboration with front-of-house teams.

What you bring

·        Experience leading a restaurant kitchen or a strong sous chef ready for broader ownership.

·        Practical knowledge of food safety, inventory, labor, and quality control.

·        Ability to stay organized under pressure while helping others succeed.

Why build your career with FHG?

We believe good ideas can come from anywhere, and we want leaders who bring their perspective to the table. We prioritize internal promotions when possible; several of our current managers began in hourly roles. With multiple restaurant locations, opportunities to advance or transfer may also be available as your career and life change.

You will be trusted to contribute improvements, develop future leaders, and grow within a multi-location hospitality group.
