Kitchen Manager at Fieldwork Brewing Company – Sacramento Fieldwork Brewing Company is seeking an experienced Kitchen Manager to lead culinary operations at our Sacramento location. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in a high-volume, quality-driven environment and takes pride in building strong kitchen teams and consistent food execution. Our Sacramento taproom is a high-energy, high-volume operation built around hospitality, an ever-rotating lineup of Fieldwork beers, and strong non-alcoholic offerings. Like our other full-kitchen locations, Sacramento features Neapolitan and Detroit-style pizzas, fresh salads, and shareable plates. It's a dynamic, community-driven space that blends craft beer culture with a full dining experience — and one of the most exciting leadership opportunities in our portfolio.
What You'll Do:
  • Lead all day-to-day kitchen operations, ensuring consistency, cleanliness, and execution at Fieldwork standards
  • Hire, train, coach, and develop a team of line cooks and dishwashers through clear expectations and active leadership
  • Execute food preparation and service with attention to quality, timing, and presentation
  • Manage inventory, ordering, food cost controls, and vendor relationships
  • Maintain full compliance with health, safety, and sanitation standards (logs, storage, cleanliness, food safety)
  • Partner with the General Manager and Regional Kitchen Manager on labor forecasting, scheduling, and financial targets
  • Ensure recipe adherence, portion control, and menu execution consistency
  • Conduct performance check-ins, evaluations, and corrective coaching as needed
  • Troubleshoot kitchen equipment issues and coordinate repairs with vendors
  • Support special events, private bookings, and brewery-wide initiatives
What We're Looking For:
  • 3+ years of kitchen leadership or management experience (brewery or high-volume restaurant preferred)
  • Proven ability to lead, motivate, and retain kitchen teams
  • Strong understanding of food and labor cost management
  • Hands-on leadership style — comfortable working the line and leading by example
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and operationally minded
  • Solid knowledge of food safety, sanitation, and California health codes
  • Valid California Food Manager Certification (or ability to obtain upon hire)
  • Must be 21+ and authorized to work in the U.S.Spanish-speaking a plus
  • Why Fieldwork
  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Health and dental benefits (once eligible 60 days from employment)
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Employee food and beer perks
  • Supportive leadership team and clear operational systems
  • Opportunity to grow with one of Northern California's most respected craft breweries
If you're excited to take ownership of a kitchen rooted in quality, teamwork, and community, we'd love to hear from you.
