Piping Kettle Soup Co. – Komoka, Ontario

Manager to take full ownership of our kitchen operations.

We take pride in preparing fresh, homemade soups, sandwiches, and salads. We're looking for

a strong leader who is passionate about food, takes initiative, and has the experience to

manage a busy kitchen independently.

take responsibility for kitchen operations, and ensure the kitchen runs efficiently without

constant direction from ownership.

Key Responsibilities

● Kitchen Management: Take ownership of daily kitchen operations, anticipate

challenges, make decisions, and ensure the kitchen runs smoothly and independently.

● Inventory & Ordering: Manage all food and supply ordering, maintain accurate

inventory levels, and proactively prevent shortages or disruptions to service.

● Food Waste & Cost Control: Monitor food costs, minimize waste, manage portion

control, and maintain proper stock rotation.

● Weekly Soup Planning: Independently prepare weekly soup menus, ensuring variety,

ingredient availability, and efficient kitchen production.

● Kitchen Scheduling: Create and manage kitchen staff schedules, ensuring appropriate

coverage and efficient labour costs.

● Team Leadership: Train, supervise, and develop kitchen staff, delegate responsibilities,

and maintain accountability within the team.

● Food Quality & Safety: Ensure consistency in food preparation, quality, cleanliness,

and food safety standards.

● Problem-Solving: Identify and resolve operational challenges proactively, with minimal

oversight from ownership.

● Strong cooking skills and food preparation experience

● Proven ability to lead a team and manage kitchen operations independently

● Excellent organizational and time-management skills

● Experience with ordering, inventory, food waste management, and cost control

● Strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities

● Ability to anticipate needs, make decisions, and follow through on responsibilities

● A dependable, proactive individual who takes pride in their work

● Valid Food Handler Certification

● Flexible availability Monday through Sunday, between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., including

weekends as required

Position Details

● Full-time position, approximately 40 hours per week

● Initially a hands-on cooking and management role

● As the kitchen team develops, the position will transition toward more dedicated

management responsibilities

● Competitive wage of 23–26/hour, based on experience

● Performance review after 90 days

● Employee discounts

● Opportunity for growth within the business

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who takes pride in running an organized, efficient, and

successful kitchen.

Our ideal candidate is a confident leader who can manage day-to-day operations, build a

reliable kitchen team, and ensure responsibilities are completed accurately and on time.

Our goal is to build a kitchen that operates independently, consistently, and successfully,

even when ownership is not present.

We want someone who doesn't just work in the kitchen but takes ownership of its success.
