Description
Hi Noon Hospitality is launching a first-of-its-kind 3,500 sq ft seafood butchery and fish market concept adjacent to our flagship location in Phoenix - and we're looking for the person to run it. The space is ready. We're targeting a mid-November opening, and we'll open when we find the right person.
This is not a chef role. This is a procurement, yield, and operations role for someone who deeply knows fish, loves numbers and efficiency, and can run a business independently. Think of it as your own seafood distribution company - backed by an established and growing hospitality group. You'll buy all the seafood for our group's seven Phoenix-area locations, fabricate and portion it in our butchery, price and invoice each location, and run a retail fish market and sushi counter open to the public.
If you've owned a butchery, managed a fishery, or have ever thought about doing it yourself - this is your opportunity.

Track yield on every product - yield and portion efficiency are central to how this operation makes money
Price seafood and invoice each Hospitality Group location for product received through the company's intercompany transfer program
Manage the fish market P&L: purchasing costs, yield, retail revenue, internal transfer revenue, COGS, and labor
