Full-time · Tamarind & Co., 1275 South River Road, Cranbury, NJ 08512
Lead our kitchen — the team, the standards and every plate that leaves the pass.
You'll run the kitchen at Tamarind & Co. You set the standard, teach it, and hold it on a quiet Tuesday lunch and a full Saturday night alike. You'll work side by side with the owner on the menu, the specials and our catering, and you'll be the person the whole brigade looks to.
What you'll do
Lead, schedule and train the kitchen team — a calm, organised line, even on the busiest service
Own the quality of every dish: recipes, tasting, portions and plating, the same every time
Keep a clean, safe kitchen — food safety, hygiene and health inspections, every shift
Plan ordering, stock and food cost with the owner, and cut waste without cutting corners
Shape specials, festival menus and catering trays with us
What we're looking for
Experience leading a busy professional kitchen — Indian cuisine strongly preferred
A leader who teaches and stays steady under pressure
A sharp palate and high standards for taste and presentation
Food handler or ServSafe certification, or ready to get it
Available evenings, weekends and holidays
