Job Description
DoorDash Kitchens is an innovative segment within DoorDash, focused on pioneering new delivery models through the operation of 'dark kitchens'—shared commercial kitchens designed to help restaurateurs expand their business without the traditional brick-and-mortar overhead. As part of DoorDash’s New Delivery Models team, DoorDash Kitchens operates cutting-edge delivery-only restaurant environments that drive the future of food service. The team is small but dynamic, dedicated to scaling DoorDash Kitchens rapidly and efficiently to meet growing demand.
This role within DoorDash Kitchens is tailored for individuals passionate about culinary excellence, teamwork, and operational efficiency. The Development Kitchen team plays an essential role in testing new recipes and culinary concepts, ensuring that each dish meets rigorous standards for quality before it reaches customers. In this position, you will maintain a clean and well-organized kitchen environment within a DoorDash-operated facility, which is crucial for food safety and smooth kitchen operations. You will be responsible for collecting, cleaning, and distributing cookware throughout your shift, setting a high standard for kitchen cleanliness and organization.
Beyond cleaning and organization, you will also manage inventory by receiving shipments, organizing stock using the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method, keeping track of kitchen pars, and reporting shortages to the management team. Support for the culinary development team is a key aspect of the role, as you will assist with daily food preparation tasks and special projects, helping to craft culinary offerings that delight customers across multiple cuisine types.
Kitchen sanitation is a top priority in this role. You will ensure compliance with food safety standards by handling food properly, storing it correctly, and cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces and equipment according to health regulations. Reporting directly to the Executive Development Chef, you will be part of a forward-thinking team that values initiative, organization, and culinary curiosity.
This role is ideal for someone excited to grow within contemporary restaurant models, including delivery-only kitchens, and who thrives working collaboratively in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. You bring energy, attention to detail, and a willingness to tackle projects large and small with equal enthusiasm. If you are passionate about cooking across diverse cuisines and want to be a key player in the future of food delivery, this position offers a unique opportunity to advance your culinary skills and career within a pioneering technology-driven company.
DoorDash offers competitive compensation ranging from $18 to $26.50 per hour, adjusted for your work location and experience. Beyond pay, DoorDash supports employee well-being with a comprehensive benefits package including a 401(k) plan with employer match, paid parental leave, wellness reimbursements, commuter benefits, paid time off, and sick leave compliant with local laws. Medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid holidays, disability and life insurance, family-forming assistance, and mental health programs are also available to full-time employees, underscoring DoorDash’s commitment to holistic employee health.
At DoorDash, you will join a company committed to innovation, inclusivity, and community impact. As a tech and logistics leader, DoorDash’s mission is to empower local economies by delivering anything people need to their doorsteps. The company fosters an inclusive work environment where diversity of thought and background is valued, enabling employees to contribute their best selves to solving new challenges. DoorDash is an equal opportunity employer strongly dedicated to nondiscrimination and cultivating a respectful workplace. Diversity and inclusion are pillars of the company culture, ensuring that employees from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences thrive.
Joining DoorDash Kitchens means becoming part of a fast-growing, constantly evolving team that values initiative, speed, accuracy, and excellence. If you are ready to elevate your kitchen career in an environment that blends culinary craftsmanship with next-generation delivery technology, this role offers an exciting path forward.
