The restaurant prides itself on delivering an exceptional dining experience through expertly prepared dishes and a vibrant, fast-paced kitchen environment. As a staple in the local culinary scene, Sonia's Seafood employs a team of passionate and skilled kitchen professionals who contribute to the restaurant's reputation for excellence. Sonia's Seafood fosters a supportive and team-oriented workplace where culinary talent is nurtured and growth opportunities are available for dedicated employees.
We are currently seeking motivated individuals to fill two vital roles in our kitchen: Prep Cook and Line Cook. Both positions report directly to the Sous Chef and Kitchen Manager and play critical roles in maintaining the highest standards of food quality, safety, and kitchen efficiency. These are hands-on, fast-paced roles that require attention to detail, speed, and adherence to food safety protocols. The Prep Cook focuses mainly on preparing ingredients, handling seafood, and supporting kitchen operations by ensuring all stations are stocked, organized, and ready for service. This includes cleaning, cutting, portioning ingredients, and maintaining cleanliness and safety in the kitchen. The Line Cook is responsible for cooking and assembling menu items during service, executing orders quickly and accurately, and maintaining consistency and presentation quality. Both roles require teamwork, communication skills, and the ability to work under pressure during busy service periods.
Sonia's Seafood offers full-time and part-time shifts, with expectations for availability during nights, weekends, and holidays. Pay is based on experience, and growth opportunities are provided within the company for individuals who demonstrate strong performance and a professional attitude. Physical stamina is important as candidates must be able to stand for extended periods, lift up to 50 lbs, and work efficiently in a fast-paced kitchen environment that includes exposure to hot, cold, wet, and slippery conditions. We value strong attention to detail, reliability, and a commitment to food safety practices.
