Why Join the Miss Daisy’s Family?

We are reopening Miss Daisy’s! This is a 28-seat, family-owned breakfast and lunch operation. We are focused on a successful relaunch!

You Are Not an Employee. You Are Essential.

This operation is intentionally lean. We are building a 3-person core team that must be the operational backbone of the restaurant.

If you are ready for a high-accountability partnership role, check out the open positions below.

Here’s a glimpse into our space and kitchen:

  • Close-up of the POS order screen and small chalkboard sign advertising a special deal on soup and sandwich.
  • The narrow, clean commercial kitchen space at Miss Daisy's, showing the stove, fryer, and stainless steel counter.
  • The ordering counter and large chalkboard menu boards inside Miss Daisy's, a popular Wisconsin neighborhood cafe.
  • The coffee display case and order counter area with a refrigerated display and "Order Here" sign at Miss Daisy's.
  • Cozy, rustic wooden tables and chairs in the small, 28-seat dining area of Miss Daisy's, WI.
  • Wide view of the Miss Daisy's dining room looking toward the sunny windows and booths.
  • The dishwashing and sink station area with a large mixer in the back of Miss Daisy's kitchen.

    • Currently Hiring for

    Kitchen Manager / Head Chef (Path to Ownership)

    Miss Daisy’s needs a dedicated culinary boss to run our kitchen and eventually own the business.

    This is not a middle-management position. This is an entrepreneurial role where you are given the keys to the entire back-of-house operation, reporting directly to the owner. We are a small, tight 28-seat neighborhood cafe serving breakfast and lunch.

    If you succeed here, the cafe is yours. The immediate goal is to find a capable Kitchen Manager/Head Chef who can master the operation and, over time, transition into an owner-operator role. Ownership potential is exceptionally high for the right person.

    As the Kitchen Manager, you will be the Head Chef and chief operator of our kitchen. You will manage one other cook/prep person. This is your kitchen to run.

    Core Expectations
    • Creative Authority: Full command over daily specials, seasonal menus, and vendor relationships. Your creativity is the differentiator.
    • Operational Ownership: Complete management of food costs, inventory, waste control, and compliance. This is your budget.
    • Team Leadership: Lead and mentor the small 2-person kitchen team. Your attitude sets the tone for the entire back-of-house operation.
    • Execution: Maintain unwavering standards of quality, consistency, and speed across all breakfast and lunch service. Every plate counts.
    • Reopening Mission: Work with urgency and commitment to ensure a smooth and successful reopening, optimizing processes for long-term profitability.
    Required Experience & Mentality
    • Proven experience running a commercial kitchen, preferably in a breakfast/lunch setting.
    • Must thrive in a small, fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
    • Must possess the financial acumen to manage costs and drive profit.
    • A genuine desire to operate (and potentially own) a successful, local neighborhood restaurant.
