  • Help organize ticket fires and coordinate timing and pickups with the rest of the line.
  • Communicate clearly with the Chef and other cooks regarding ticket priorities, pacing, and special requests.
  • Ensure your station is fully prepped and organized before service.
  • Assist other stations when needed to maintain smooth service.
  • Maintain proper food handling and sanitation standards.
  • Assist with daily prep, breakdown, and closing duties.
  • Help set a positive example for other line cooks through professionalism, reliability, and strong communication.
Qualifications
  • 3+ years of professional kitchen experience.
  • Strong experience working multiple stations in a high-volume restaurant.
  • Excellent understanding of line organization, ticket timing, and service flow.
  • Ability to read and manage a busy ticket rail while maintaining communication with the entire line.
  • Strong cooking fundamentals and attention to detail.
  • Ability to remain calm and organized under pressure.
  • Reliable, professional, and team-oriented.
  • Comfortable taking a leadership role during service.
Schedule

5 days per week

This is an opportunity for a talented line cook who wants to take on additional responsibility and become an important part of the leadership and organization of the kitchen during service.

Compensation: Competitive, based on experience.
