Job Description

Shakey's is a renowned restaurant chain celebrated for its delicious pizzas, flavorful chicken, and unique Mojos. Since its inception, Shakey's has been dedicated to delivering a memorable dining experience through quality food and exceptional service. The company prides itself on fostering a collaborative, engaging, and growth-oriented work environment. Operating numerous locations, Shakey's combines traditional recipes with modern culinary techniques, making it a favorite spot for families and food enthusiasts alike.

The Back-of-House (BOH) team is truly the heart of the Shakey's experience. BOH team members work diligently behind the scenes, playing a crucial role in food preparation and kitchen operations. This position offers an exciting opportunity for individuals who thrive in fast-paced culinary settings and enjoy being integral to the production of fresh, high-quality food items. Starting at a competitive pay rate of $16.50 per hour, Shakey's offers the chance to grow professionally within the company.

As a BOH team member, you will be involved in various kitchen functions including preparing fresh dough daily, cooking a range of Shakey's classic menu items such as pizzas, chicken, and Mojos, and maintaining strict cleanliness and sanitation standards in the kitchen. The role includes rotating through several key stations such as Cook, Buffet Attendant, Dough Roller, and Dishwasher. While new employees initially focus on one station, Shakey's encourages cross-training and skills development across all BOH functions to enhance versatility and increase work hours. This multi-station approach not only enriches your culinary skill set but also opens pathways toward advanced career opportunities, including potential progression into store management roles.

The role demands considerable attention to detail, adherence to food safety protocols, and teamwork. Responsibilities extend beyond cooking and food prep to include maintaining food inventory, ensuring proper storage and rotation of ingredients, and performing opening and closing duties for your assigned station. Cleanliness is paramount, so daily tasks like sweeping and mopping kitchen floors, washing dishes and utensils, and organizing supplies are vital components of the job. At Shakey's, every BOH member contributes to creating a welcoming environment for both customers and coworkers.

Joining Shakey's means becoming part of a dynamic team where passion for food and hospitality is valued. The company invests in its employees through training and opportunities for advancement, making it an excellent place for individuals aiming to build a long-term career in the restaurant industry. If you appreciate the fast-paced nature of kitchen work and have a desire to grow your culinary and management skills, the Back-of-House BOH position at Shakey's could be the perfect fit.
