Marshall, MN, United States Taher Full time
Do you have hospitality experience, care about current eating trends, and love the idea of serving kids and school communities? If you said yes, we want to talk with you

We are hiring an energetic, knowledgeable Food Service Director to lead a K 12 school lunch program. You will be responsible for client and community relationships, budgets, and P and L performance, while guiding daily kitchen operations so students and staff receive high quality, compliant meals they enjoy.

In this role, you are the face of the program for the district. You partner closely with school leaders, build trust with staff and families, and make sure the food service team delivers on both service and financial expectations.

In this role you will:
  • Lead the daily, hands on management and training of the kitchen staff
  • Develop menus that fit the needs of the school community and align with USDA Child Nutrition guidelines
  • Implement and maintain HACCP and all food safety and sanitation standards
  • Manage ordering, inventory, vendor relationships, and cash control
  • Deliver budgeted food and labor results and manage P and L performance
  • Provide outstanding catering and special event service for the district
  • Build and grow strong relationships with district leaders, school staff, students, and families
  • Create a safe, clean work environment and monitor day to day operational standards
You will step into a leadership role where you can see your impact every day in the children you serve and the relationships you build with the district and community.

You must bring at least 3 years of food service leadership experience and an associate degree in hospitality, dietetics, or a related field. In our fast paced K-12 environment, you will juggle multiple priorities, keep the kitchen and office organized, and communicate clearly in person and in writing. Just as important, you build strong relationships with district leaders, school staff, students, and the community. If you take pride in leading a team, serving great food, and being a trusted partner to the client and the people we serve, we want to hear from you. Apply today through our career site.

Additional requirements include:
  • Current ServSafe Manager certification or ability to obtain within 90 days
  • Demonstrated ability to manage and control food cost
  • P&L experience with responsibility for meeting financial targets
  • Proven ability to lead, coach, and hold staff accountable
  • Strong relationship-building skills with clients, administrators, staff, students, and families

  • Catering or special event experience, preferred
  • Ability to successfully complete all required school background checks for the assigned district, which may include fingerprint-based criminal checks, child abuse and neglect registry checks, and other screenings required to work around children, as applicable by state and district policy

This position provides excellent work-life balance with Monday--Friday daytime hours, paid vacation, sick, and holiday pay, and some work during academic breaks that follow the school calendar. It offers health and dental benefits, 401(k), and corporate discount perks through LifeMart and Doctegrity virtual healthcare for you and your family at a low cost, and much more
