As the Kitchen Manager for DashMart Kitchens (DMK), you’ll lead the daily operations of a DoorDash-owned kitchen located within a DashMart fulfillment center. You’ll oversee a team of operations associates and shift leads to ensure every meal is prepared safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.
You’ll combine hands-on culinary leadership with operational excellence — managing staffing, scheduling, and kitchen performance while ensuring food safety, order accuracy, and team success. You’ll work closely with your Site Manager to lead multiple food concepts, improve processes, and create a great place to work. In addition to leading the kitchen, you'll be cross trained into DashMart operations and expected to work on both sides of the business. This role requires strict adherence to food safety, inventory controls, and safety protocols due to routine access to food, supplies, equipment, and operational systems.

Are passionate about food and love to lead across multiple food concepts
Enjoy building processes and seeing ideas come to life
Are passionate about creating food consistently

Thrive in hands-on, fast-paced leadership roles.
You’ll Make an Impact By...
Leading: You’ll demonstrate compassion and commitment to inclusivity as you lead a team of hourly Kitchen Associates and Shift Leads. You’ll hire, coach and develop high-performing team members, while building a safety-first culture where employees are excited to drive success, personally and for the team. Because this position supervises staff and is responsible for maintaining a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace, strong adherence to professional conduct and employee safety standards is required. You’ll serve as a leading change agent for your DMK, helping your team to navigate new food concepts and growth projects. You’ll tackle onsite escalations, including coordination with cross-functional partners.
Operating: With your thumb on the pulse of all outcomes for your team, you will be directly responsible for driving results for your kitchen. To achieve your performance targets, you’ll drive success through effective scheduling and by ensuring par levels are met, recipes are accurately executed, and best practices from across the network are deployed. Because this role oversees high-risk kitchen equipment and fast-paced food production, maintaining sound judgment and unimpaired performance is essential to ensure a safe work environment. You’ll engage cross-functional partners as needed for support.
