Job Description

DZO Hospitality is a dynamic and growing restaurant group that prides itself on delivering authentic Mexican cuisine and warm, genuine hospitality. With a focus on cultural tradition, quality ingredients, and a team-oriented environment, DZO Hospitality has established itself through its unique restaurant concepts including Bakan Wynwood, Koko by Bakan, Talavera Cocina Mexicana, and Jacinta Aventura. These establishments offer vibrant dining experiences that not only celebrate Mexican culinary heritage but also create welcoming atmospheres for guests to enjoy. At DZO Hospitality, the commitment to great food is matched by the passion for supporting the people behind it, fostering growth and development within the team. This dedication creates a working environment rich with opportunity, learning, and camaraderie, making it an ideal place for those who want to build a career in the restaurant industry.

Specifically, DZO Hospitality is currently seeking talented Tortilla Cooks for their Bakan Wynwood, Koko - Coconut Grove, and Jacinta Aventura locations. These positions are available for immediate hire and are critical to the kitchen operations of these authentic Mexican dining spots. The role of a Tortilla Cook involves making fresh tortillas at an action station, prepping masa, and preparing other food items according to specific recipes and standards. Crafting tortillas on-site follows time-honored Mexican traditions, ensuring guests receive an authentic dining experience. Tortilla Cooks work primarily in the back of the house, handling food order executions, preparing salsas, condiments, and sides, and performing various other kitchen duties.

This position offers more than just day-to-day kitchen work; it provides a chance to be part of a passionate team that values quality and cultural authenticity. Employees enjoy on-the-job training to enhance their skills, generous employee discounts, and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, including complementary life coverage. Paid time off and full-time employment opportunities are also available, alongside the potential for career advancement within the company — many supervisors and managers originally started as crew members. Competitive compensation further underscores DZO Hospitality's commitment to rewarding their team members fairly. Overall, the Tortilla Cook role is perfect for individuals who are enthusiastic, friendly, and eager to learn in a fast-paced, culturally rich restaurant environment.
