Assistant Kitchen Manager in Victoria, British Columbia

Come join and grow with Vancouver’s award-winning vegan restaurant group – MeeT Restaurants!

Since opening in 2014, MeeT has grown quickly to three busy locations, each garnering praise and awards, including Best Neighbourhood Restaurants in Yaletown / Gastown / and Main St in Vancouver and Best Vegan Restaurant in Vancouver (2019-2021 Georgia Straight Golden Plates).

Our mission is to bring vegan comfort food to the masses! Welcoming vegans, vegetarians, and non-vegans alike with food that appeals to everyone in an inclusive, inviting, and comfortable setting.

Our committed-to plan is to continue our growth throughout the lower mainland with aspirations to bring our offerings to cities across the country and beyond. Beyond opening new locations, we have been developing our retail business and aspire to bring our famous sauces to grocery stores nationwide.

For our Assistant Kitchen Managers (Sous Chefs), that growth presents opportunities to grow into Kitchen Manager and eventually operations/regional management-level roles, travel to open locations in new markets, with a special focus on training, developing and mentoring future leaders.
