Will be responsible for managing floor operations, communicating with vendors and customers, and ensuring production meets the highest standards for food safety, efficiency, and service.
This is a fast-paced, high-expectation role that requires strong leadership, emotional intelligence, and the ability to navigate both proactive planning and reactive problem-solving.

Effectively lead a diverse team, managing conflict with maturity, supporting individual growth, and promoting accountability and ownership.
Confidently make decisions based on available information, while being willing to ask questions or seek clarity when needed.
Maintain composure under pressure and a positive attitude in the face of frequent interruptions, questions, and oversight — understanding these are part of maintaining food safety and operational excellence.
Proactively create space for strategic planning, process improvements, and long-term problem solving even in a reactive environment.
Collaborate across departments (warehouse, maintenance, quality, corporate) to maintain continuity and shared success.
Identify root causes of production issues, implement corrective actions, and follow through to ensure resolution.
Analyze production data and trends to continuously improve efficiency, reduce waste, and optimize employee performance and training.
Develop and refine training programs, cross-training, and development plans that build stronger, more capable production teams.
Clearly communicate expectations, issues, and updates to leadership, team leads, and all relevant stakeholders.
Maintain accurate production reports and ensure inventory reconciliation, forecasting, and documentation standards are met.
Serve as a liaison for customer complaints and follow-up actions in collaboration with sales and food safety personnel.
