Job Description

The establishment hiring for the Prep Team Member position is a fast-casual restaurant known for its exceptional quality chicken dishes inspired by the culinary expertise of the co-founder, Dave, who trained at Thomas Keller's renowned Bouchon restaurant. This fast-casual dining experience centers around a simple yet effective process: sourcing the highest quality chicken, preparing it in a proprietary brine, deep frying it to perfection, and then enhancing it with one of seven signature spice blends. This approach has resulted in what is claimed to be some of the most tender and flavorful chicken available, appealing to a wide range of customers who value both flavor and quality in a quick yet relaxed dining atmosphere.

This fast-casual restaurant is dedicated to delivering outstanding customer service while maintaining high standards of food preparation, cleanliness, and teamwork among its staff.

Additionally, team members assist in maintaining the overall cleanliness of the restaurant, including dining areas and restrooms, following established safety protocols, and operating kitchen equipment like fryers and warmers.

Working in this role offers flexibility, with part-time and full-time shifts available, including day, evening, and night shifts, and the need to work weekends and holidays. The compensation ranges from $15.00 to $18.00 per hour, making it an accessible entry-level position for individuals, including those currently in school, looking for reliable employment in the food service industry with opportunities to develop valuable skills.

Employee benefits include an employee discount and paid time off, supporting both part-time and full-time workers. No prior experience is required, which makes it an ideal opportunity for individuals seeking to start a career in the restaurant industry. The workplace values effective communication, a commitment to guest satisfaction, and adhering to company policies and management directions. Prospective team members should be prepared to work in a fast-paced environment, standing for long periods, and performing physical tasks such as lifting and working around heat.

Overall, this position offers a fantastic opportunity for hardworking individuals passionate about food and customer service to join a growing restaurant dedicated to quality and teamwork. The role not only involves food preparation but also interaction with guests, collaboration with team members, and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety, helping ensure the restaurant's continued success and reputation in the fast-casual dining sector.
