The Executive Chef/Production Manage will organize and oversee the daily operations of Back of House at Kauai Juice Co’s main operations facility.

You will be the one to ensure that our Back of House production is well-coordinated and productive by managing its procedures and coaching its people. You will also be the glue that ties together communication and training from our Back of House operations to our Front of House execution to customers.

The overall goal is to expand our current food menu while creating new SOPS needed to execute them properly into all stores. Being a hands on leader with our back of house crew in order for us to seamlessly create quality products along side of developing a positive team. You will be responsible for the success of our Juice and Food Retail Production, as well as all r and d, creation, and execution of our food and juice menu.
