Assistant Brewer / Cellar Position: 8one8 Brewing - Canoga Park, CA

Assistant Brewer / Cellar Technician

818 Brewing – Canoga Park, CA
Full-Time | $20–$22 per hour

About 8one8 Brewing

8one8 Brewing is a family-owned and operated brewery located in Canoga Park, California. Founded in 2014, we began as homebrewers and converted our passion into a business on a 3BBL brewhouse.

With limited self-distribution and the addition of our tasting room in 2018, we’ve grown into a 10BBL brewhouse, commissioned our own canning line, implemented a water treatment and lagering program, and expanded our production capacity to 200+ BBLs of tank space.

We’re currently looking for the next member of our production team—a motivated, hardworking, team-oriented individual who wants to grow with us and build a long-term career in brewing.

Why Someone Would Want This Job

  • Small, tight-knit production team

  • Real responsibility and hands-on brewing (not just keg washing forever)

  • Exposure to the full production cycle (cellar → packaging → QA → brewing)

  • Stable, long-term brewery (not a startup chaos shop)

  • Opportunity to grow skills and responsibility, not just clock shifts

This is a working production role at a brewery that values consistency, quality, and people who want to build something long-term.

Final Note to Applicants

This is not a “learn to brew” position. It’s a professional working production role. If your experience stops at loving beer and homebrewing, we’re probably not the right fit right now. At least one year of professional brewery or cellar experience is required.

Manager – Osborne Pizza Kitchen (OPK)

The manager is responsible for managing the daily operations at Osborne Pizza Kitchen (OPK). This is a hands-on, working Kitchen Manager role who leads from the line while also helping guide systems, people, and performance.

This role works closely with both FOH and BOH teams to deliver OPK’s signature product and guest experience. The manager is accountable for the quality, consistency, and execution of the full menu while maintaining a clean, organized, and high-performing kitchen.

At OPK, the manager is expected to be present — on the line, in service, and visible to both the team and guests.

Essential Job Functions

Leadership & Culture

  • Lead by example as a working Manager, spending the majority of time on the line (stretching dough, baking, expo) while also managing people and systems

  • Provide leadership by setting clear expectations, holding the team accountable, and maintaining high standards

  • Deliver weekly staff meetings to recognize achievement, address opportunities for improvement, and communicate priorities

  • Foster a positive and collaborative kitchen culture

  • Perform table touches and remain engaged with the guest experience.

Product & Execution

  • Deliver the highest level of execution for guest experience, product quality, and hospitality

  • Maintain OPK’s quality-first approach — speed matters, but quality always comes first

  • Prepare food in a fully open kitchen where execution and cleanliness are always visible to guests

  • Make dough in-house and oversee hand-stretched pizza production

  • Maintain and develop recipes and production standards while allowing room for creativity and growth

  • Ensure consistency across all menu items while helping take the restaurant to the next level

Operations

  • Lead daily kitchen operations to ensure optimal performance

  • Maintain the facility and equipment to the highest standards in accordance with state and local health codes

  • Manage food and operating supply purchasing

  • Manage inventory levels, food handling, rotation, and waste control

  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized kitchen environment

Team Development & Staffing

  • Hire and maintain appropriate kitchen staffing levels to meet business needs and financial goals

  • Train and develop team members across roles

  • Deliver coaching, counseling, and performance reviews

  • Build a well-rounded team capable of growth and internal promotion

Financial & Administrative

  • Drive financial performance through controllable food and labor costs

  • Conduct inventory counts and reporting in collaboration with ownership and accounting

  • Review monthly reports to gain insight into operational performance

  • Support ownership with payroll and timekeeping to ensure accurate and timely submission

Ownership Collaboration

  • Work closely with ownership in a collaborative, execution-focused relationship

  • Ownership is actively involved behind the scenes, providing marketing, accounting, and operational support

  • This role is expected to communicate openly, collaborate effectively, and provide feedback

Working Conditions & Expectations

  • This role requires weekends, holidays, early mornings, and late evenings

  • Shifts range from 8–12 hours

  • Fast-paced, high-energy environment

  • This position is not a fit for someone who wants to sit in an office analyzing reports

  • This position is also not for someone who only wants to work BOH — it is a fully rounded role combining leadership, execution, reporting, and guest interaction

  • Not a corporate company — we’re an independently owned hands-on leadership company.

Qualifications

  • Hospitality, culinary degree or related field or at least 3 years of Kitchen Management experience

  • Experience training, developing, and leading teams of 8–18 employees

  • Ordering, receiving, and inventory control experience preferred
