The part-time cook positions at Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux offer an exciting opportunity to be at the heart of the kitchen where the magic of game day comes to life. Reporting to the Kitchen Manager or Manager on Duty, cooks are essential to the daily operation, preparing a variety of menu items including prep, fry, line, grill, salad, and sandwich station tasks. This role demands a team-first attitude, punctuality, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. Cooks are responsible for executing chef-driven recipes with precision — prepping ingredients, cooking with care, and plating dishes that reflect Walk-On’s championship-quality standards.
