Kitchen Manager / Head Chef

We're a family-owned wedding and event venue in Sartell looking for someone to take over our kitchen. Not just fill a spot, but truly own it.

What the job actually is:

You'd be our event banquet chef, preparing full meals for weddings every weekend. Our events are usually 150-400 guests, plating, and service execution based on what each couple has selected. This isn't line cooking. It's organized, high-volume, and you're running the show.

After a training period, you'd be managing the kitchen independently. Ordering, prep, execution, all of it.

This is a demanding job. You work every weekend. Your typical schedule is Wednesday through Saturday, with Sundays, Mondays, and sometimes Tuesdays off. There's no sugarcoating it. If you need weekends free, this isn't the right fit.

But if you're someone who thrives on owning your craft and wants a kitchen that's yours to run, keep reading.

What makes this different from other kitchen jobs:

• Family-owned business where you're treated like family, not a number
• We take our team on trips. Mexico, Jamaica, dinners out, we actually invest in the people who show up for us
• Real growth potential, bonuses, including possible ownership opportunities down the road
• You would not be grinding through a dinner rush every night. The schedule is structured around events, so you know what's coming and can plan accordingly
• We have great systems already in place so you would not building from scratch

Who we're looking for:

• Experienced cook who's ready to step into a leadership role
• Organized and self-motivated. You don't need someone standing over your shoulder
• Reliable. This is the single most important quality. Our couples are counting on you for the biggest day of their lives
• Hands-on. You're cooking, not just managing
• If this sounds like you, or if you know someone who'd be a great fit, send me a message or apply below.
