Additionally, the Prep Cook will participate in restocking supplies, cleaning and maintaining the kitchen workspace, walk-in coolers, and all storage areas to uphold organizational standards. This position may also involve other duties as assigned to support the overall success of the kitchen team. Our recruitment process utilizes an artificial intelligence tool to assess candidates’ qualifications, self-rated proficiency, and job fit, ensuring we select individuals best suited for the role. Applicants can request alternative selection processes or accommodations if needed.

Joining our team means becoming part of a supportive and forward-thinking organization where professional growth is encouraged.
