🍣 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 โ€” someone who takes pride in every plate, leads a tight-knit team and keeps the heart of our restaurant beating.


The role is built around four things:

👥 People โ€” 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.

โค๏ธ Hospitality โ€” Great food is hospitality. You'll make sure the kitchen delivers beautiful, consistent food from open to close โ€” because every customer deserves their best bite.

โญ Quality โ€” You're the guardian of our recipes, our standards and our kitchen. Correct-to-recipe, food safe, spotlessly clean โ€” no compromises.

📊 Profitability โ€” From prep planning to portioning, ordering to waste, you'll run a smart, efficient kitchen that never sacrifices quality for cost.


What you'll be doing:

🧑โ€🍳 Running the kitchen day to day โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” CATC and CAYG are second nature to you


You're the kind of person who:

🔥 Gets a buzz from a fast, well-run kitchen 🎯 Holds the standard even when it's busy and the pressure is on โœจ Takes real pride in the food that goes out โ€” every single order 💡 Spots what needs fixing and just sorts it
