We are looking for a culinary professional with a passion for Italian cuisine and the ability to lead, motivate, and develop a team in a high-volume, high-standards kitchen environment.

  • Support hiring, onboarding, scheduling, and performance management for the culinary team

  • Model leadership, communication, and teamwork daily—setting the tone for the entire BOH staff

Qualifications
  • Minimum 3–5 years BOH leadership experience, preferably in Italian or Mediterranean-focused restaurants

  • Strong knowledge of pasta production, dough fermentation, pizza techniques, sauces, butchery, and station mastery

  • Experience managing a fast-paced NYC kitchen and leading a diverse team

  • Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills

  • Commitment to hospitality, consistency, and a collaborative work environment

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary and opportunities for growth within Crafted Hospitality, founded by Chef Tom Colicchio

  • Comprehensive benefits

  • Supportive leadership team and a respectful, learning-focused workplace
