Job Description
Reposado is a vibrant and innovative restaurant located in San Mateo, known for serving exceptional Mexican cuisine in a contemporary and inviting setting. Unlike typical taquerias, Reposado focuses on authentic Mexican culinary traditions that emphasize Chef-driven trends found across Mexico today. The restaurant is conveniently situated just one block from Caltrain, making it easily accessible for both staff and guests. Renowned for its commitment to "Simple food done well," Reposado has earned a reputation for excellence in food quality and service throughout the Peninsula. This reputation is the result of a dedicated team of hard-working professionals who take pride in every aspect of the restaurant's operation, from preparation to presentation to attentive guest service.
The establishment values attention to detail, understanding that the smallest elements—whether it be the cleanliness of a glass, the presentation of a plate, or the overall ambiance of the restaurant—can significantly impact a guest's experience. At Reposado, every team member plays a vital role in ensuring the highest standards are met consistently. The restaurant fosters a culture of continuous improvement and individual growth, encouraging employees to challenge themselves and contribute meaningfully to the overall success of the team. The work environment requires physical stamina and agility, including the ability to stand for extended periods, navigate stairways, and lift heavy items as part of daily duties.
Reposado is currently hiring for multiple positions including Line Cooks, Sous Chefs, Prep Cooks, and Dishwashers in preparation for its opening scheduled for late December to early January. These roles are essential in building the foundation for delivering outstanding culinary experiences. Candidates interested in joining the team are encouraged to apply promptly, demonstrating a serious commitment to their roles and readiness for an interview. The restaurant emphasizes a guest-focused approach in all positions, strong communication skills, and a pleasant attitude toward teamwork and service.
The Line Cook position requires at least one year of experience with basic cooking techniques and knife skills, while Prep Cooks and Dishwashers will be trained on the job, welcoming individuals who are eager to learn and grow within the kitchen environment. The Sous Chef role is pivotal, involving overseeing daily kitchen operations, menu planning, staffing, and ensuring cost controls and sanitation standards are adhered to. Ideal candidates for this senior role will have proven supervisory experience, culinary education or certification, and strong organizational skills.
Reposado’s mission extends beyond just great food; it is about creating an experience that guests want to return to, where every interaction reflects the highest level of care and professionalism. The team environment at Reposado ensures that every member feels valued and responsible for the restaurant’s success. This job opportunity represents a chance to be part of a standout establishment that blends traditional Mexican flavors with modern culinary artistry, all while working in a supportive and dynamic atmosphere. If you are passionate about quality and eager to develop a rewarding career in the hospitality industry, Reposado is the right place to make your mark.
