As a full-time, year-round Line Cook at the Country Club, you will play a pivotal role in maintaining the club’s high standards of food preparation and presentation. Reporting directly to the Restaurant Chef, this non-exempt hourly position offers a competitive compensation range of $23 to $29 per hour. The role requires working within a fast-paced, open kitchen environment, where professionalism and composure are essential as you prepare and cook menu items in full view of members and guests.

The Line Cook position demands technical ability, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering a consistently excellent dining experience. You will be responsible for preparing dishes according to standardized recipes, plating guides, and portion controls, ensuring that every plate leaving your station meets the club’s stringent quality standards.

In addition to cooking, you will be expected to manage inventory effectively by labeling, dating, and rotating products using FIFO (first-in, first-out) standards to minimize waste. Supporting daily prep lists and contributing to the creative use of ingredients across multiple menus will further enhance operational efficiency. Communication with supervisors about menu suggestions, inventory needs, or equipment maintenance issues is an integral part of the role, fostering a collaborative and positive team environment.

The Country Club prides itself on creating a positive workplace culture where every department supports one another. As a Line Cook, maintaining a professional and positive attitude while interacting with all departments is crucial. Adherence to club policies and procedures is mandatory, and flexibility in working various shifts, including days, nights, weekends, holidays, and special events, is necessary to meet the demands of the role.
