The Events Line Cook role at The Ned’s Club Washington DC is a dynamic and essential position within the club’s culinary team, reporting directly to the kitchen leadership. This position offers both full-time and on-call opportunities with an hourly salary ranging from $25 to $27. The role demands a skilled, flexible, and production-minded line cook capable of executing high-volume plated dinners with precision, consistency, and speed. Responsibilities include batch preparation, plating to exact specifications, and managing a variety of service styles ranging from tastings and banquets to receptions and à-la-minute service during live events. A key focus of the role is maintaining food quality and presentation standards while working efficiently under pressure in a high-paced and upscale environment. The position requires working on various cooking stations such as garde manger, sauté, roast, and pass, supporting adjacent stations when necessary, and adhering to strict health and safety standards including DOH and ServSafe.

Candidates will be part of a vibrant culinary team that values creativity, speed, and accuracy. They will engage in daily production tasks such as preparing proteins, sauces, vegetables, starches, garnishes, and batch cooking methods including roasting, poaching, sous vide, and combi. The role also involves reading and executing Banquet Event Orders (BEOs), managing food labeling, allergen separation, yield tracking, and assisting with events like tastings and VIP menu previews. Team collaboration and mentorship are also important parts of the job, as cooks are expected to coach newer members, maintain station organization, participate in inventory and deep cleaning, and provide cross-support to other club outlets when event volume is low.

The ideal candidate will have between one to three years or more of experience in upscale hotel, banquet, or club kitchens with a strong foundation in butchery basics, sauces, vegetable cookery, seasoning, and plating. Proficiency in managing live pass environments and a ServSafe Food Handler certification are preferred. Additionally, a calm demeanor, passion for exceptional food, and creative flair are highly valued, aligning with the club’s focus on seasonal menu changes and innovative culinary offerings. A flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays is required to meet the demands of the role.
