Prep-Cook

We are excited to welcome an experienced Prep Cook to join our dynamic culinary team at our diverse, inclusive, and welcoming establishment. Our restaurant prides itself on creating a safe space for everyone, where the passion for food and exceptional dining experiences come alive through delicious and high-quality dishes. We believe that food has the power to bring people together and our commitment is to serve meals that our guests not only enjoy but remember.

The Prep Cook plays a crucial role in maintaining the flow and quality of our kitchen operations. This role is perfect for someone who has a passion for culinary arts and is enthusiastic about preparing and cooking a variety of dishes that meet our high standards of taste and presentation. As a key member of the kitchen team, a Prep Cook must be organized, detail-oriented, and capable of handling multiple tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced environment. Your knife skills should be solid, and your ability to keep an organized and clean workspace is essential to ensure the smooth function of our kitchen.

You will be responsible for inspecting and cleaning food preparation areas, including work surfaces and equipment, to uphold the highest standards of sanitation and food safety. Freshness of food and ingredients is paramount, so managing the proper rotation and labeling of products in the walk-in refrigerator is a core part of your duties. Taste and quality control is also a significant responsibility — all food preparation must be seasoned and cooked correctly to delight our guests.

Beyond preparing meals, you will also be an active communicator within the team, coordinating with incoming shifts to prioritize and complete prep tasks efficiently. You will monitor waste diligently, report any concerns found in the waste log to management, and respond promptly and professionally to guest feedback. Your role helps ensure not only individual satisfaction but also the overall operational success of the kitchen.

We welcome candidates who have previous experience as a prep cook and preferably possess ServeSafe or Food Handler's certification, though willingness to obtain these credentials is equally important. Physical stamina is required, as the role involves standing for long hours and periodically lifting more than 30 pounds. Above all, you should be teachable and able to communicate effectively with the wider team. This position is a fantastic opportunity for a culinary professional who wants to contribute meaningfully to a supportive team environment while advancing their skills and career in food preparation.
