Pasta Lupino has been a Whistler Village institution for over 26 years, handmade pasta, housemade sauces, and honest Italian comfort food made fresh every single day. We’re growing, too: Caffè Lupino at Function Junction is about to be our second home and central production kitchen, expanding what Pasta Lupino offers across the Sea-to-Sky corridor. As we grow, we’re building a kitchen leadership team to grow with us.

We’re looking for an Assistant Kitchen Manager to help run our Village kitchen day-to-day, working closely alongside our Kitchen Manager. This is a hands-on leadership role, you’ll mainly be working the line, but you’ll support the whole Back of House team, manage prep, and keep the kitchen effective on the busy nights.

This role is primarily based in the restaurant, but you’ll also be expected to take on prep shifts and support the kitchen at Caffè Lupino alongside the Kitchen Manager, helping keep quality and consistency tight across both locations. It's a real opportunity to grow in an expanding multi-unit business.

- Lead the line during service and keep the kitchen running smoothly under pressure
- Support the Kitchen Manager with prep planning, ordering, and stock/inventory counts

- Step up to run the kitchen in the Kitchen Manager’s absence
- We value our team's input, you'll have the chance to contribute your own dishes and ideas to help shape the menu and improve the business

What we’re looking for

- Solid experience in a busy, high-volume kitchen
- Calm under pressure, reliable, and ready to take on responsibility
- A genuine team player who wants to grow with the business
- Current FoodSafe certification (or willing to obtain)

What we offer

- $24–26/hr depending on experience, full-time
