We value professional development and offer opportunities for growth within our culinary team, encouraging both seasoned professionals and emerging talents to thrive.

The Line Cook position is a critical role within our kitchen brigade, directly responsible for preparing and plating dishes to meet our strict recipe and quality standards. This role requires an individual who thrives under pressure in a fast-paced kitchen environment, possesses a keen attention to detail, and is passionate about California-inspired cuisine. The Line Cook will work closely alongside the Chef de Cuisine and Sous Chef to ensure every plate leaving the kitchen reflects the consistency and excellence our guests expect. This position entails setting up, organizing, and breaking down assigned stations efficiently while maintaining cleanliness and food safety standards as mandated by the California Retail Food Code, HACCP principles, and Cal/OSHA safety regulations.

In this role, you will be expected to perform various duties including prepping ingredients, portioning, labeling, and assisting in the smooth operation of the kitchen during peak service hours. Given the physical nature of the work, you must be capable of standing for extended periods, lifting substantial weight, and working safely around hot and potentially hazardous kitchen equipment. We require a minimum of two years of line cooking experience, preferably within a high-volume, scratch kitchen setting, and a California Food Handler Card either currently held or obtained within 30 days of hire. This is a fantastic opportunity for professional cooks eager to expand their culinary skills and contribute to an enthusiastic and high-performing kitchen team. Join us and be part of a vibrant culinary environment where your expertise and dedication help craft exceptional dining experiences for our guests.
