Job Description
Raleigh Raw – Kitchen Prep / Prep Cook
Location: Downtown Raleigh, NC (7 W Hargett St)
Positional Vibe: Day shift, kitchen closes at 7 PM
Why This Role:You’re not just chopping veggies—you’re fueling the Raleigh Raw narrative. We’re about clean energy, chef‑crafted cold fare, and serious wellness vibes. This role is perfect if you can hustle, keep it clean, and care about the wellness game.
What You'll Be Making:- Smoothies (CBJ Time, Chocolate Banana, Green, Coladacado, etc.)
- Smoothie bowls (Khaleesi Acai, Blue Zone Smoothie Bowl)
- Avocado toast on gluten‑free sourdough with pickled onion & dill
- Poke bowls & sushirritos (Faroe Monch, Hustle, Rosarito)
- Cold‑prep elements: chopping, peeling, slicing fresh vegetables & toppings
- Seasonal soups (e.g. Tomato Basil Bisque, Coconut Corn Chowder)
- Prep ingredients per checklists: smoothies, bowls, soups, toasts, poke bowls — weigh, measure, mix to spec
- Make housemade almond and coconut milks from scratch as needed
- Cold line prep: trimming, washing, cutting veggies and proteins
- Follow detailed prep & stock checklists; label and rotate inventory
- Maintain rigorous cleanliness — scrub, sweep, sanitize — kitchen looks as sharp as your knife skills
- Support dishout during busy periods: finishing bowls, plating toast, finishing soups
- Check and maintain stock levels, portion control to minimize waste
- Knife proficiency and prep‑tool comfort
- Fast pace and accuracy under pressure
- At least 1–2 years experience in a commercial kitchen environment
- Passion for clean, health‑focused ingredients and wellness cuisine
- Willingness to pitch in on cleaning and kitchen upkeep
- Positive attitude—bonus if you bring your own playlist and jokes to the line!
- Experience working with raw fish, foodie culture, poke or sushi prep
- Spanish speaker
- Familiarity with macro‑tracking or nutrition info (menus list carbs/fat/protein)
- Typical pay range: $15–$18/hour , most starters at ~$15/hr; $1 raises every 90 days based on performance and reliability
- Overtime available year‑round
- Work ends early—kitchen shuts at 7 PM, so no late nights unless you volunteer for OT
We’re chill, but exacting. Staff bring good energy, enjoy healthy foods, and contribute to a lighthearted and music‑friendly kitchen energy. If you take pride, lean into feedback, and laugh when you can—you're already one of us.
