Job Description

Grassa is a vibrant culinary establishment located in Lake Oswego that specializes in artisan comfort food with a no-frills approach. Known for its meticulously crafted bowls of fresh pasta, including traditional and seasonal salads, delicious appetizers, and tasty cocktails, Grassa brings a unique dining experience to the local community. The restaurant is the brainchild of Rick Gencarelli, famed for his work with Lardo, and embodies a warm yet industrial atmosphere with a distinct personality reflected in its eclectic decor and energetic vibe. While it embraces an unconventional style, Grassa remains deeply committed to delivering outstanding service and quality to its guests.

Our Lake Oswego location is currently seeking a dedicated Time Line Cook to join our dynamic team. This position is open to candidates of all experience levels, as we value enthusiasm and a strong work ethic just as much as technical skills. Applicants are required to submit a cover letter explaining their interest in working at Grassa, alongside a current resume. This role offers the opportunity to be part of a supportive and fast-paced environment where teamwork, attention to detail, and a positive attitude are essential.

The Time Line Cook will play an integral part in the kitchen, working diligently to produce exceptional dishes while maintaining efficiency and a sense of urgency during service. We emphasize the importance of continuous improvement and encourage employees to cultivate their skills and culinary knowledge. Candidates should be able to effectively multitask, stay calm under pressure, and communicate clearly with fellow team members to ensure a seamless dining experience for our guests.

We provide flexible scheduling with available PM shifts and consistent hours even amidst potential dining restrictions. Compensation includes a base wage of $17 per hour, with a guaranteed total of $21 per hour including tips, which typically range from $4 to $7 per hour. Grassa also fosters growth opportunities within the company, anticipating expansion with new locations in the near future.

This role is ideal for individuals with a genuine passion for food, an eagerness to learn, and a collaborative spirit. Grassa takes pride in offering a supportive workplace culture that encourages upward mobility and values each team member's contribution to the guest experience and overall restaurant success. If you are looking to join an innovative and spirited culinary team dedicated to quality and community, Grassa in Lake Oswego may be the perfect fit for you.
