Mashgiach & Prep Lead

Job Description

A busy dairy restaurant is looking for a steady, hands-on person to keep our prep operation sharp and our standards uncompromised.

This is a role for someone who wants to be genuinely part of a place — who takes pride when things run beautifully and takes it personally when they don't.

What the Job Really Is

  • You'll be the one keeping prep organized, on-schedule, and done properly.
  • You'll make sure there's a clear plan for the day and that the team is working to it, so the kitchen isn't scrambling and nothing gets missed.
  • You'll work with your hands — this is a prep role as much as a leadership one — and you'll bring the kind of discipline that keeps food costs honest: enough prep, never too much; clean and tidy, never wasteful.
  • You'll also own the practical side of what comes into the kitchen — receiving deliveries, checking product, and giving our produce the careful, thorough inspection our standards demand.
  • And you'll safeguard our kashrus. Our systems are well established and run smoothly, so this isn't about reinventing anything — it's about being someone we trust completely to keep those standards exactly where they are.


The Kind of Person We Want
  • Experience is a must — you've spent real time in a professional kitchen and you carry the standing to serve as mashgiach.
  • But just as important is the temperament: humble, dependable, allergic to ego, and happiest when you're in the thick of it.
  • The right person doesn't guard a job title; they look for whatever needs doing and do it.
  • They think like an owner, treat the restaurant's money like their own, and feel the wins and the losses right alongside us.


Requirements
  • Approved by, or able to be approved by, the Vaad Hakashrus of Flatbush (firm requirement)
  • Solid professional kitchen and prep experience
  • Full-time availability and a hands-on, all-in attitude
