The position requires proficiency in handling various ingredients and cooking equipment efficiently within a fast-paced kitchen environment. The cook will be responsible for preparing ingredients, including chopping, peeling, and cutting, as well as cooking food using a range of utensils and grillers.

Additionally, monitoring food quality, managing inventory, and placing orders as necessary form key components of the job duties.
