Mashgiach & Prep Lead — Full-Time

Job description

A busy dairy restaurant is looking for a steady, hands-on person to keep our prep operation sharp and our standards uncompromised. This is a role for someone who wants to be genuinely part of a place — who takes pride when things run beautifully and takes it personally when they don't. What the Job Really Is You'll be the one keeping prep organized, on-schedule, and done properly. You'll make sure there's a clear plan for the day and that the team is working to it, so the kitchen isn't scrambling and nothing gets missed. You'll work with your hands — this is a prep role as much as a leadership one — and you'll bring the kind of discipline that keeps food costs honest: enough prep, never too much; clean and tidy, never wasteful. You'll also own the practical side of what comes into the kitchen — receiving deliveries, checking product, and giving our produce the careful, thorough inspection our standards demand. And you'll safeguard our kashrus. Our systems are well established and run smoothly, so this isn't about reinventing anything — it's about being someone we trust completely to keep those standards exactly where they are. The Kind of Person We Want Experience is a must — you've spent real time in a professional kitchen and you carry the standing to serve as mashgiach. But just as important is the temperament: humble, dependable, allergic to ego, and happiest when you're in the thick of it. The right person doesn't guard a job title; they look for whatever needs doing and do it. They think like an owner, treat the restaurant's money like their own, and feel the wins and the losses right alongside us.
