Digital Operations Manager Jobs in Largo, FL (NOW HIRING)

Description:

ABOUT FRESH KITCHEN
Fresh Kitchen is redefining what "fast food" can be: real food, made from scratch, with ingredients and standards you can feel good about. That means 100% pure olive oil (no seed oils), hand-cut veggies, antibiotic- & hormone-free meats, responsibly sourced seafood and 100% gluten-free recipes. We call it Good Food Forever.
Our vision is big: 100 remarkable restaurants by 2034. We're building a brand that's as serious about people and culture as we are about food quality and performance, and we're looking for leaders who want to build something that lasts.

- People + Culture (coaching, accountability, engagement, bench strength)
- FOH Labor + Deployment (smart schedules, right people in the right places)
