Job Description

CiCi's, established in Plano, Texas in 1985, has carved out a distinguished niche in the casual dining industry, renowned for delivering what it proudly calls The Best Pizza Value Anywhere (TBPVA). With a rich heritage deeply embedded in excellent service, warm hospitality, and a strong commitment to giving back, CiCi's continues to be a top choice for pizza lovers seeking quality and value. As a company, CiCi's prioritizes delivering the best experience to every guest, every day, embracing a culture centered on teamwork, inclusivity, and customer satisfaction. The restaurant operates as a family-friendly environment where employees and guests alike enjoy a welcoming atmosphere.

The Prep position at CiCi's plays a crucial role in the day-to-day production of the restaurant's renowned products. This role demands an individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment while maintaining a friendly, fun, and cooperative work atmosphere. While previous restaurant experience is advantageous, it is not mandatory, making it an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking entry into the food service industry or those looking to build on their culinary skills. The Prep is responsible for ensuring that all food preparation processes adhere strictly to food safety guidelines, maintaining cleanliness, preparing dough, sauces, and cheese daily, and following standardized recipes to uphold the brand's consistent quality.

In addition to food preparation, the Prep will support other kitchen functions, including pizza making and cutting, placing and managing inventory orders, and training new hires in back-of-house (BOH) procedures. This responsibility requires physical stamina, including the ability to lift up to 25 pounds and stand for long periods, making physical fitness an important consideration for this role. Bilingual skills, particularly in Spanish and English, are a plus and can enhance communication within the team and with guests.

The role also demands compliance with CiCi's uniform, appearance, and operational standards as outlined in the company’s Operations Manual and Team Member Handbook. CiCi's emphasizes equal employment opportunities, welcoming a diverse range of applicants to contribute to a supportive and dynamic team environment. This position offers a unique chance to become part of a well-established and respected brand in the casual dining sector, providing opportunities for professional growth and development within the company. Candidates who are passionate about food service, customer satisfaction, and teamwork will find this role rewarding and engaging.
