Kitchen Manager – Nara Katsu

Nara Katsu on Whyte Avenue is looking for a reliable and experienced Kitchen Manager to join our team.

We are a small, casual restaurant specializing in Japanese-style katsu and Korean-inspired food. Our kitchen team is not very large, so this role is a good fit for someone who is comfortable working hands-on while also helping keep the kitchen organized and running smoothly.

We are looking for someone who can take responsibility during busy service, communicate well with the team, and help maintain consistency in the kitchen.

We have a relatively small team and a relaxed working environment, but we do get busy during peak hours.
