About The Position

Our Kitchen Managers (KM) understand the overall mission, culture, and philosophy of Zeeks and are able to translate and implement them effectively on a day-to-day basis. Their role is to manage all aspects of food quality, cost of goods sold (COGS) and speed metrics for every shift- even when not present. Zeeks is fanatical about its standards for food quality, cleanliness and customer service, and bringing a kickass experience to our guests. The KM must have the ability to train their kitchen team on Zeeks' food standards and culture, resulting in a high-powered kitchen that can produce stellar Zeeks pizza and salads every time.
