Find & Apply For Chef Jobs in Roy, Washington

Overview Run the kitchen at McKenna's newest café. Daytime hours, no late nights, closed Mondays. Mango Mana just opened in McKenna, and we're looking for a Head Chef to lead our kitchen as we grow. You'll own how every plate and bowl leaves the line, from Orchard Bowls and fresh smoothies to brunch sandwiches, Liège waffles and sourdough toasts. If you want to build a kitchen's systems from the ground up and still be home for dinner, this one's for you. About us Mango Mana is a small, locally owned café in the same strip mall as Worthy's Coffee Co. Everything is made fresh to order: fruit bowls on non-dairy bases, real-fruit smoothies, all-day brunch and chef's specialty sandwiches, waffles, toasts, salads and grilled cheese. We're a small team, so your ideas show up on the menu and in how the kitchen runs. About the role A year from now, you'll have a kitchen that runs smoothly whether you're on the line or not. That means consistent recipes, clean and organized prep, smart ordering, and a crew that knows the standard. You'll work closely with the owner on menu updates, specials and costs. What you'll do Lead daily kitchen operations: opening, prep, line and close. Make sure every item matches our recipes, portions and plating every time. Own food safety and cleanliness and keep us ready for inspection at all times. Order and receive product, track inventory and keep waste and food costs down. Train and support kitchen staff and set the pace and standard during rushes. Help develop new menu items and seasonal specials with the owner. What we're looking for
