Job Description

Life Time is a dynamic health and wellness company specializing in creating vibrant community spaces centered around fitness, healthy living, and nutritional education. With numerous locations across the country, Life Time offers a comprehensive lifestyle experience that integrates top-tier gym facilities, swimming pools, wellness programs, and healthy dining options. The company prides itself on promoting a holistic approach to health, emphasizing not just physical fitness but also nutrition and community engagement. Life Time’s Bistro is a cornerstone of their commitment to health-conscious living, offering members access to fresh, nutritious, and delicious food prepared in a clean and welcoming environment.

The Restaurant Cook at Life Time plays a critical role in maintaining the high standards of food quality and safety expected by both the company and its members. Working in a fast-paced and friendly environment, this role requires collaboration with a team of health-minded professionals dedicated to delivering industry-leading healthy food options. The cook is responsible for producing menu items in a timely manner while strictly adhering to established recipes and food safety guidelines, ensuring that every dish served meets the expectations for freshness, consistency, and nutritional value. From managing the flow of food production alongside other kitchen stations to performing essential duties such as stocking supplies, maintaining cleanliness, and ensuring kitchen safety, this position is fundamental to the overall guest experience.

Emphasizing continuous learning and certification, Life Time requires team members to obtain ServSafe certification within the first 90 days and CPR/AED certification within the first 30 days of employment, underscoring their commitment to workplace safety and professionalism. The role demands physical stamina and the ability to perform repetitive motions such as bending and lifting, ensuring the cook can maintain productivity throughout shifts. Experience in a fast casual or full-service restaurant environment, along with recipe preparation skills, are highly valued but not mandatory, reflecting the company’s openness to nurturing talent and dedication.

Life Time is passionate about building an inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace where each employee’s unique contributions are respected and celebrated.
