Job Title : Kitchen Manager

Reports To : GM

About Us :

Born in the Midwest. Roasted in Southern California. Rooted in adventure.

Succulent Coffee started the way many great things do : with a road trip, a dream, and a whole lot of coffee.

We opened Succulent in 2019 to create the kind of café we felt was missing—one that combines Midwest hospitality with California soul. A place where everyone feels welcome, whether you're a coffee nerd or just here for the good vibes.

Today, Succulent lives in Huntington Beach, California—our roastery, café, and creative hub.

We roast all of our coffee in-house. We make our syrups from scratch. We bake our pastries fresh each day and prepare our food in our scratch kitchen with simple, honest ingredients—free-range eggs, locally sourced artisan bread, and whole foods you can pronounce.

We believe in :

Family, friendship, and loyalty
Hospitality that feels like home
Coffee that’s delicious, not pretentious
Food that’s made with real ingredients
And a space where everyone belongs

Oversee daily kitchen operations

Supervise and support kitchen staff during prep and service

Ensure food is prepared and presented according to company standards

Monitor inventory and assist with ordering and receiving supplies

2+ years of experience in a kitchen leadership role (e.g., Lead Line Cook, Sous Chef, etc.)

Strong knowledge of kitchen equipment, food safety standards, and cooking techniques

Excellent communication, organizational, and multitasking skills
