 Salted is building the next generation of delivery-first restaurant brands. We're hiring a Director of Kitchen Operations Excellence to architect the systems, standards, and processes that ensure all Salted kitchens run with consistency, efficiency, and quality at scale.

 This role blends culinary craft with operational rigor. It's ideal for someone with a process engineering mindset—someone who thinks in workflows, enjoys diagnosing operational friction, and can translate complexity into simple, repeatable systems that teams adopt in the field.

  • Develop, test, and implement standardized kitchen procedures across all locations.
  • Translate chef-driven recipes into scalable, operationally efficient processes.
  • Collaborate with R&D, Supply Chain, and Operations to refine kitchen design, equipment strategy, and food preparation methods.
  • Analyze performance data, identify opportunities, pilot improvements, and iterate to optimize throughput, yield, and quality.
  • Ensure new initiatives are operationally feasible, well-tested, and rolled out with the right training, assets, and on-the-ground support to drive strong field adoption.
  • Partner with CX and Operations teams to ensure health and safety compliance.
  • Build lightweight yet effective operational audits and drive continuous improvement using lean methodologies.
What You Bring
  • 5 - 10 years of experience in multi-unit restaurant operations, food manufacturing, or culinary process engineering.
  • Deep understanding of fast-casual kitchen workflows and equipment.
  • Strong systems-thinking and process-mapping capabilities.
  • Ability to blend strategic design with hands-on field execution.
  • Experience leading cross-functional change and driving adoption among frontline teams.
  • Analytical approach to solving operational problems and improving consistency.
  • Excitement for working in a small, fast-moving, start-up environment.  

Salary Range: $120 – $160k

Benefits: 

  • Medical, Dental, & Vision Plans
  • 401k with up to a 4% employer match after one year 
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Remote Work
  • Paid Family Leave

To Apply:
