Job Description
Front Porch of Bowdon is a small, owner-operated personal care home. We serve three meals a day to a community of residents who actually look forward to eating. We are looking for someone who knows how to run a kitchen and wants to do it without the things that burn good cooks out.
What this job is not: No dinner rush. No ticket times. No midnight closes. No holidays buried in the weeds. The kitchen day ends at 7pm. You cook for a known headcount, not a dining room that might seat 12 or 200.
What you would own:
Daily food service across three mealsKitchen scheduling and supervising the dietary staffFood ordering and vendor relationshipsBuilding out our inventory system from the ground upUpdating kitchen operations and protocolsTraining the rest of the dietary teamThis is a build-it-your-way role. If you have spent years in restaurant or institutional kitchens and you are tired of being told how to run a line you already know how to run, you would have real autonomy here. You report to the owner, not a regional office three states away.
Why people stay:
Predictable schedule with flexibilityHard stop at 7pmMeals providedSupplementary benefitsManagement that treats you like a capable adult, because you are oneWork that matters to people who notice and appreciate it
Pay:
Starting at $16, commensurate with experience. We will pay for proven kitchen management experience.
If you can cook, lead a small team, and you want a steadier life than the restaurant grind gave you, send us your background. We would rather talk to one experienced person than sort through a stack of resumes.
