The Vintage Baton Rouge is looking for a hands-on kitchen leader and manager who takes pride in great food, strong standards, and developing people. This is a great role for a lead line cook looking to step up. 

As part of OnePack Hospitality Group, a local, independent hospitality group, we believe exceptional guest experiences start with a well-supported team.

You will partner with the General Manager to lead daily kitchen operations, deliver consistent service, control costs, maintain a safe, organized workplace, and help every team member grow.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead from the line during preparation and service.
  • Coach, train, and develop cooks at every experience level.
  • Maintain high standards for food quality, presentation, consistency, and timing.
  • Assign daily work and provide clear, constructive feedback.
  • Support scheduling, staffing, inventory, ordering, and receiving.
  • Monitor food, supply, waste, and labor costs.
  • Ensure proper food storage, sanitation, equipment care, and kitchen organization.
  • Maintain compliance with food-safety requirements and company standards.
  • Step into any kitchen position when needed to support the team and service.
  • Help create a respectful, accountable, and productive kitchen culture.
What You Bring

  • At least two years of professional kitchen experience, including supervisory or leadership responsibilities.
  • Experience working in a high-volume kitchen.
  • Strong hot-line, cold-line, preparation, and time-management skills.
  • A genuine interest in teaching, mentoring, and developing others.
  • The ability to communicate clearly, stay organized, and lead calmly during busy service.
  • Working knowledge of food-safety practices and regulations.
  • ServSafe or Food Handler certification, or the ability to obtain one.
  • The ability to stand for extended periods and perform the physical responsibilities of an active kitchen position, with or without reasonable accommodation.
Why Join Us?
