Job Description
Huey Magoo's is a well-established fast-casual restaurant concept founded in 2004 by Matt Armstrong and Thad Hudgens, two passionate southern entrepreneurs with a deep love for quality chicken and a commitment to outstanding service. Since its inception, the brand has grown substantially and evolved to become the country's premiere chicken tender concept, now backed by former executives from one of the fastest-growing franchise chains, Wingstop. This partnership strengthens the brand's operational excellence and dedication to quality. Huey Magoo's prides itself on serving only the best 3% of the chicken — the tenderloin, regarded as the "Filet Mignon of Chicken." This philosophy extends beyond the food, embodying the entire dining experience including ambiance, food presentation, and exceptional customer service. The leadership team is composed of seasoned professionals including President and CEO Andy Howard, Chairman of the Board Wes Jablonski, COO Mike Sutter, VP of Operations Matt Poleos, and Board of Directors Member Bill Knight, all driving the company’s mission to elevate fast-casual dining.
The role of Cook at Huey Magoo's is integral to maintaining the restaurant's high standards for food quality and service excellence. We are seeking an experienced and skilled cook who thrives in a fast-paced kitchen environment and is passionate about providing guests with delicious, artfully prepared dishes. The ideal candidate will be a team player who can work efficiently with others while adhering strictly to food safety, sanitation guidelines, and the company’s culinary standards. Beyond cooking proficiency, excellent communication, organizational skills, and the ability to multitask are essential to succeed in this role. The cook is responsible for preparing ingredients, cooking various menu items using different culinary techniques, and presenting food in a visually appealing manner. Furthermore, this position involves maintaining a tidy and sanitary kitchen environment, operating kitchen equipment correctly, and assisting in managing food storage and inventory to ensure freshness and availability.
Huey Magoo's commitment to quality means that the individual filling this role will contribute directly to the brand’s promise of delivering the "Filet Mignon" experience in every bite. Whether you are prepping workstations, checking ingredient quality, or ensuring that food is arranged perfectly before it leaves the kitchen, you will be part of a dedicated team focused on excellence. While no formal educational requirements such as a diploma are mandatory, candidates with a culinary school diploma have an advantage due to the technical knowledge and training they bring. This full-time position offers an outstanding opportunity for cooks eager to grow their careers with a respected and rapidly expanding fast-casual chain. If you are organized, meticulous, creative, and passionate about cooking exceptional chicken dishes, Huey Magoo’s invites you to apply and join the team that sets the bar for premium chicken tenders nationwide.
