NOW HIRING
Kitchen Service Coordinator
The KSC is responsible for ensuring every guest order is completed accurately, garnished properly, and leaves the kitchen quickly. This role manages the service window, coordinates food flow, prepares garnishes and sauces, maintains cold-side readiness, and works closely with food runners and the kitchen team to deliver a consistent guest experience.
Primary Responsibilities
* Coordinate the flow of completed orders from the kitchen to the dining room.
* Organize tickets and ensure all items for each order are complete before release.
* Finish plates with proper garnishes, sauces, and final presentation.
* Verify accuracy, quality, and portion consistency before food leaves the window.
* Run food to guests when needed or direct food runners during busy service.
* Maintain the service window and keep it clean and organized.
* Prepare and replenish cold-side items including garnishes, sauces, dressings, and accompaniments throughout the shift.
* Portion sauces and condiments according to restaurant standards.
* Communicate with cooks regarding missing items or timing issues.
* Assist with prep and stocking to ensure uninterrupted service.
* Help maintain speed of service while protecting food quality.
What Makes This Role Different From an Expo?
Instead of directing the kitchen by calling tickets and controlling cook times, the Window Lead focuses on:
* Quality control
* Final plate presentation
* Organization at the pass
* Coordinating food runners
* Supporting prep of sauces and cold-side items
* Ensuring food leaves the kitchen quickly and correctly
