This role is integral to maintaining the high standards of food service that contribute to residents' well-being and satisfaction. The Cook position offers a full-time day schedule, including every other weekend from 5:30 AM to 2:00 PM, and a competitive wage ranging from $18.00 to $19.50 per hour, factoring in a weekend shift differential. This position requires a dedicated individual who is meticulous about food preparation, presentation, and safety compliance. The successful candidate will prepare high-quality meals by following provided recipes and menus, ensuring that food is appetizingly plated and served safely, and maintaining an organized, clean culinary environment throughout shift operations.

In addition to meal preparation, the Cook will manage inventory adjustments due to unforeseen circumstances, maintain food storage and rotation according to state and local regulations, and participate in temperature checks and necessary documentation to ensure compliance with food safety standards.
