We are currently seeking a skilled Cook to join our dedicated culinary team. This is a full-time position offering competitive pay ranging from $9 to $17 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications, alongside valuable employee benefits. As a Cook at Razzoo's, you will play a vital role in preparing, seasoning, and cooking a variety of complex menu items including soups, sauces, vegetables, meats, and desserts. Your expertise and attention to detail will ensure that every plate meets the restaurant's high standards of quality, presentation, and timeliness.

In this role, you will follow specific recipes and cooking procedures precisely, never taking shortcuts, while using scales and measuring tools for accurate food portioning. The position demands a strong sense of urgency to prepare food quickly and efficiently at all times, striking a balance between speed and quality. You will also be responsible for maintaining cleanliness and organization in the kitchen, handling food safely according to sanitation guidelines, and participating in kitchen safety practices.

Working closely with Managers on Duty, you will receive direction to help maintain optimal line food levels and ensure that the preparation of meals aligns with Razzoo's 'Cook To Order' philosophy. This means no pre-cooking of food items, particularly side dishes like bread and french fries, allowing meals to be served fresh and hot to our guests. The safety and sanitation standards are paramount, and you will be expected to follow all applicable federal, state, and local statutes along with Razzoo's internal policies.

Additionally, the role includes responsibilities such as safe handling and cleaning of kitchen equipment and knives, proper use of protective gloves, disposal of trash in a sanitary manner, washing hands frequently, and assisting with dishwashing when required. You will also be expected to adhere to OSHA chemical handling guidelines and maintain a safe working environment by reporting any unsafe conditions immediately.

The physical demands of this position are considerable, requiring the ability to bend, stoop, lift, and carry items weighing up to 50 pounds, stand and walk for the duration of shifts, climb ladders to reach high shelves, and maintain sharp hearing and near vision in a busy kitchen environment. Manual dexterity is essential for handling kitchen tools quickly and safely.

Our Cook position offers several benefits including discounted employee meals, paid time off (PTO), health benefits, and a 401k savings plan with employer matching, although specific benefits eligibility may vary based on qualifications. This opportunity is perfect for driven individuals who thrive in a fast-paced kitchen setting and are passionate about creating great food while upholding the highest standards of kitchen safety and cleanliness.
