  • Conduct regular kitchen walk-throughs, line checks, and performance coaching
  • Support menu updates and rollouts by translating standards into clear training and execution
  • Uphold health, safety, and sanitation standards at all times
  • Contribute operational insight and feedback to support future menu and brand evolution
