Kitchen Manager

Lead the kitchen. Elevate the food. Grow with us.

Are you ready to step up and lead a kitchen that’s fun, creative, and fast-paced—without the chaos of a traditional line cook job? At Allegan Event , we’re looking for a hands-on Kitchen Manager to take charge of daily operations, guide a small team, and help us keep serving up great food and awesome guest experiences.

This is the perfect role for someone with a bit of kitchen or leadership experience who’s ready to grow into a bigger role. We’re not your average food service—we’re part of a one-of-a-kind indoor adventure park , and the food is part of the fun.

Why Allegan Event?
We’re not just a kitchen—we’re part of the action. Allegan Event is an indoor adventure park where families come to climb, zip, and play, and your kitchen will be a core part of the experience. You’ll get the chance to lead, create, and grow with a supportive team that values both fun and professionalism.

• Lead the daily food & beverage operation and keep things running smoothly

• Prep and serve a mix of crowd favorites and creative new items (no grill or fryer—just ovens!)

• Train, schedule, and support a small, tight-knit crew

• Keep the kitchen organized, clean, and compliant with safety standards

• Track inventory, manage supplies, and place weekly orders

• Monitor food costs and report sales trends (don’t worry—we’ll train you)

• Solve guest issues quickly and confidently

• Collaborate with leadership on new menu ideas and food experiences

What You Bring:

• 1+ year of kitchen or food service leadership experience

• ServSafe certification (or willing to get it ASAP)

• A calm, positive presence and strong communication skills

• Comfort with basic tech (POS systems, spreadsheets, Google Docs)

• Organized, proactive, and reliable

• Creative and flexible—even with simple kitchen equipment

• A desire to take ownership and grow into a bigger leadership role

The Kitchen Setup:
Our kitchen is compact, efficient, and air-conditioned (🙌). We don’t use fryers or open flames—just ovens—so we’re looking for someone who knows how to make great food with smart systems and a little creativity.

Physical Stuff:

• You’ll be on your feet and moving throughout your shift

• Must be able to lift 25 lbs regularly and up to 50 lbs occasionally

• Some reaching, bending, and hands-on tasks required

Pay: $20–$22/hr
Location: Allegan Event, Allegan, MI

Allegan Event, LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
We value diversity and inclusion, and we welcome candidates from all backgrounds.
