Job Description

Anthony's is a family-owned group of restaurants with a rich history spanning over 50 years, operating 25 locations across the Pacific Northwest in states including Washington, Idaho, and Oregon. Renowned for its dedication to showcasing the very best of the region's culinary offerings, Anthony's emphasizes the use of fresh local seafood and in-season ingredients, underpinned by genuine hospitality. The company distinguishes itself through a unique approach to sourcing: owning its own wholesale company that deals directly with local fishermen, ranchers, and trusted partners. This method guarantees that only the freshest and highest-quality food items reach their kitchens daily, assuring guests experience exceptional, authentic flavors and quality meals every time they dine.

Anthony's is not just about great food - it is also deeply committed to creating an excellent workplace culture. It invests heavily in its team with competitive pay, consistent scheduling, opportunities for career advancement, and a nurturing environment that fosters skill development and long-term career growth. Whether you are a newcomer eager to enter the hospitality industry or a seasoned professional seeking your next challenge, Anthony's invites individuals who share a passion for food, community, and hospitality to become part of their vibrant team.

The Prep Cook role at Anthony's is a vital position within the culinary team. This role involves preparing ingredients such as washing, chopping, and measuring in alignment with kitchen standards and recipes to ensure smooth kitchen operations. The Prep Cook supports chefs and cooks by completing foundational food preparation tasks that contribute directly to timely and efficient meal service. Maintaining cleanliness and organization in the preparation areas is also a key responsibility, as is ensuring compliance with all health and safety protocols to provide a safe working environment.

Precise prep work helps maintain the high standards of food quality and presentation that Anthony's is known for. The Prep Cook is essential in enabling the kitchen to function efficiently during busy service periods by preparing components like sauces, dressings, and garnishes ahead of time and monitoring inventory to communicate needs to management. This role demands excellent knife skills, time management, organizational prowess, and a cooperative spirit to work successfully as part of the kitchen team.

This position offers a full-time employment opportunity with options for medical, dental, vision, voluntary life, and pet insurance based on hours worked. The company also offers 401(k) participation with an annual discretionary match, paid time off for eligible employees, meal discounts, scholarships, and employee assistance programs including access to a wellness app. Anthony's fosters an inclusive work environment as an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from individuals who are 18 years or older and eager to contribute to a team devoted to quality and community.
