Kitchen Manager
🍕 Kitchen Manager – Allegan Event Food & Beverage
Calling all rising leaders ready for that next step.
Got a bit of kitchen or team leadership experience and want to build on it? Allegan Event is looking for someone like you to help lead our food & beverage crew. This role is perfect for someone ready to grow, get creative, and take charge in a fun, fast-paced (and air-conditioned 👏) kitchen—with no fryers or grills. If you're comfortable in the kitchen, good with people, and want a leadership role where you can grow and have input, we’d love to meet you.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead daily kitchen and food & beverage operations
- Prep and serve a mix of crowd favorites and new creations
- Train and support a small, tight-knit team
- Keep the kitchen organized, clean, and up to safety standards
- Track inventory, place weekly orders, and manage supplies
- Monitor food costs and report on sales performance (we’ll train you)
- Solve guest issues with confidence and a calm attitude
- Work with leadership on creative updates to the menu
What You Bring:
- 1+ year of experience in a kitchen or food service leadership role
- ServSafe certified—or willing to get it right away
- Strong communication and team management skills
- Familiarity with POS systems and basic computer tools (Google Docs, spreadsheets, etc.)
- Reliable, organized, and cool under pressure
- Creative approach to food, even with simple equipment
- Ready to grow into a bigger leadership role
The Setup:
Our kitchen is simple and efficient—no open flames, just ovens—so we’re looking for someone who can do a lot with a little. It’s a great space to be creative without the stress of a traditional line kitchen. Plus, yes: the AC is real.
Physical Stuff:
- You’ll be on your feet and moving throughout your shift
- Must be able to lift 25 lbs regularly, and up to 50 lbs on occasion
- Some reaching, bending, and hands-on tasks
Why Work at Allegan Event?
We’re a one-of-a-kind indoor adventure park that mixes fun and professionalism. Here, the kitchen is an important part of the guest experience—and you’ll help shape that. You’ll get the chance to lead, grow, and work with a supportive team in a creative environment.
