Production Manager (bayview)

$28–$30/hr Production Manager – Obour Foods (Bayview, San Francisco)

Full-time | Premium Food Manufacturing | Leadership Role

About Obour Foods

We make ultra-premium hummus, toum (Lebanese garlic sauce), tahini and pita chips fresh in San Francisco, and have since 2017. Everything is made in our own kitchen in the Bayview and goes out every week to 23 farmers markets, our Ferry Building shop, and grocery stores, cafes and taprooms around the Bay Area.

The Role

You'll run production in our kitchen. That means planning what we make each week, leading the team on the floor, and owning quality and food safety from raw ingredients to packed product. The most important part of the job is leadership: facing the team, giving clear tasks and targets, and making sure the whole crew is moving, not just making the product yourself.

You'll also keep production and distribution cleanly separated, so that finished orders are packed, labeled and staged for our drivers on time, especially on Fridays.

What You'll Do

Plan

• Build the weekly production plan from orders across farmers markets, wholesale, taprooms and the Ferry Building shop
• Adjust quantities for weather and overstock, so we make enough without waste
• Sequence the week: baking and prep early in the week, hummus production, filling and packing for Friday, and anything that can be done Thursday done Thursday
• Check ingredient and packaging inventory against the plan and order what's needed before it runs out

Lead

• Run the kitchen floor: daily task lists, production targets and clear roles for every person on shift
• Build the kitchen schedule so the plan is covered
• Train new team members on recipes, equipment, packing and safety, and coach the current team
• Hold the team to
