About High Dough

At High Dough Detroit Pizza, we're passionate about great pizza, quality ingredients, and creating an awesome experience for our customers.

We're looking for a motivated, reliable, and hands-on Kitchen Manager to lead our kitchen team and oversee day-to-day operations.

We're not looking for someone who just delegates tasks. We want someone who leads by example, works alongside their team, takes pride in their kitchen, and knows how to keep things running smoothly, even during the busiest shifts.

If you're a strong kitchen leader who values teamwork, organization, and consistency, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

Your primary responsibility will be ensuring the kitchen runs efficiently every day while building and supporting a strong team.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead and supervise daily kitchen operations.
- Work hands-on alongside the team, including during busy service periods.
- Train, coach, and develop kitchen staff.
- Create a positive, respectful, and accountable team environment.
- Ensure food quality, preparation, and presentation consistently meet High Dough's standards.
- Manage kitchen staff scheduling and daily labour needs.
- Maintain high standards of cleanliness, organization, and food safety.
- Ensure recipes, portion sizes, and kitchen procedures are followed consistently.
- Keep the kitchen running efficiently during high-volume periods.
- Address challenges and resolve issues as they arise.
- Communicate effectively with ownership and team members.

What We're Looking For

Our ideal candidate:

- Has 1–2 years of experience in a kitchen leadership or supervisory role.
- Is confident working in a fast-paced restaurant environment.
- Is a strong, hands-on leader who isn't afraid to jump in wherever needed.




- Is organized, detail-oriented, and able to prioritize effectively.
- Takes pride in maintaining high food quality and kitchen standards.
- Communicates clearly and treats team members with respect.
- Knows how to motivate staff while holding them accountable.
- Stays calm and focused under pressure.
- Is reliable, proactive, and takes ownership of their responsibilities.
- Has a solid understanding of food safety and kitchen sanitation.

Previous experience in a pizza restaurant or high-volume kitchen is an asset, but not required. Most importantly, we're looking for someone with a great attitude, strong work ethic, and the ability to bring out the best in their team.

Compensation & Benefits

At High Dough, we believe in taking care of our team and providing a positive, supportive work setting.

What We Offer:

- Starting salary of $45,000 per year.
- Two weeks of paid vacation annually.
- Annual Health Spending Account.
- Tips / tip sharing.
- Staff meals and employee discounts.
- Flexible scheduling.

Why Work at High Dough? At High Dough, we believe great food starts with great people.

We're a team that values hard work, consistency, accountability, and having fun while doing what we love.

We're looking for a Kitchen Manager who genuinely cares about their team, takes pride in the food leaving the kitchen, and wants to be part of making High Dough even better.

This is a outstanding opportunity for an experienced kitchen supervisor or emerging leader who's ready to take the next step in their career.
