What are the responsibilities and job description for the Restaurant Leadership Team - Kitchen Manager & Front of House Manager position at Gecko Hospitality (Brian Blum)?
Restaurant Leadership Team | Kitchen Manager & Front of House Manager | Orange, CT
A restaurant runs on two engines: what happens on the line and what happens on the floor. Right now, we're looking for the leaders to run both.
We're partnering with a respected, high-volume BBQ concept in Orange, CT, to fill two key leadership roles: a Kitchen Manager and a Front of House Manager. This is a brand built on scratch-made food, servant leadership, and a genuine commitment to the community it serves. If you lead with standards and show up for your team, this is worth a conversation.
Kitchen Manager
You'll own back-of-house operations from prep to plate. That means:
- Setting the standard: Running thorough line checks so every dish hits the mark on quality and temperature.
- Managing inventory and prep: Keeping the kitchen stocked with fresh product, without the waste.
- Developing the team: Coaching and mentoring a back-of-house crew that takes pride in the work.
You're detail-oriented, unwilling to compromise on food quality or cleanliness, and know how to keep a kitchen focused when the tickets stack up.
Front of House Manager
You'll set the tone for every shift and every guest interaction. That means:
- Leading the floor: Directing daily operations with a hands-on approach.
- Developing the team: Coaching and retaining a front-of-house staff that delivers consistently.
- Protecting the standards: Holding the line on service, cleanliness, and execution.
- Driving the business: Managing labor smartly while keeping the guest experience front and center.
You've led in a high-volume, casual dining environment, and you stay sharp under pressure, not just calm, but effective.

- Competitive base salary

- Closed on major holidays
- Medical and dental insurance options
- 401(k) plan
