  • Adhere to company standards for labor management and maintaining appropriate staffing levels for the restaurant; approve payroll on a daily basis.

  • Review and maintain store financials daily, including tracking food costs, and work with the Executive Chef to manage comps, expenses, labor, and overall revenue.

  • Uphold defined standards for food quality and hold vendors accountable for all product received, altering Hogsalt’s Purchasing team of any and all vendor issues. 

  • Complete general administrative tasks including opening and closing duties, maintaining restaurant facilities, kitchen supplies, and BOH uniform inventory, and keeping the Recipe Index up to date.

  • Provide consistent coaching and support for all hourly employees, and possess the ability to fill into any BOH hourly position.

Hogsalt is not your typical restaurant group.  Guests know us for transportive spaces and sumptuous fare, but what we are most proud of is the generosity we extend to our teams.  Our service team reimagines hospitality with energy and a sense of fun.  Our culinary team makes classic dishes so expertly that you'll remember why they became classics.  No matter which of our 20+ restaurants you visit, you'll see we're an organization that makes people — our guests and ourselves — happy.
