Job Description

Rocket Farm Restaurants is a progressive restaurant group deeply committed to fostering a respectful and dignified work environment where every team member feels valued. Rooted in the philosophy "We serve the person who is serving the guest," Rocket Farm Restaurants emphasizes that hospitality begins within the kitchen and extends outwardly to guests, creating a culture where care and respect between colleagues mirror the service provided to diners. Located in key markets such as Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Houston, Raleigh, and Winter Park, Rocket Farm Restaurants operates several establishments that focus on authentic, heartfelt dining experiences. No. 246, one of Rocket Farm's unique establishments, offers a classic old-school Italian dining experience in the heart of downtown Decatur. The restaurant features a thoughtfully curated rotating menu of Italian favorites like rigatoni alla vodka, pizzas, pastas, chicken scarpariello, and house-made fried mozzarella, blending tradition with culinary creativity and passion.

No. 246 is currently seeking an experienced Cook who not only possesses culinary skill but also shares a genuine passion for the art of cooking and the stories behind each dish.

This role is perfect for a culinary professional enthusiastic about Italian cuisine and eager to join a team that fosters innovation, collaboration, and heartfelt dedication.

This position offers competitive hourly pay ranging from $16 to $24, commensurate with experience and ability. Team members at Rocket Farm Restaurants benefit from a supportive culture with ethical workplace practices and dynamic, performance-based raises and promotions. Employees enjoy accrued time off during major holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day, allowing for a well-rounded work-life balance. Significant additional benefits are available after one year of employment, including paid time off, childbirth recovery and parental leaves to support diverse family needs, as well as major medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage.

Employees also take advantage of specialized professional development opportunities through Rocket Farm University, where leadership classes and personalized career support are offered. Moreover, the restaurant values employee engagement through mentorship programs, advisory councils, and safety committees, promoting a collaborative and secure work environment.

As an equal opportunity employer, Rocket Farm Restaurants is dedicated to providing employment opportunities that comply with federal laws and regulations that protect workers' rights.
