  • Ensuring each dish is made with consistency, quality, and attention to presentation.
  • Following recipes, prep guides, and standard procedures accurately.
  • Learning and refining kitchen and sauté skills through hands-on training.
  • Maintaining pace during peak hours and supporting smooth kitchen flow.

  • Managing multiple tasks effectively to help meet guest expectations during busy shifts.
  • Working safely around kitchen equipment, heat, and steam.
  • Using kitchen tools, timers, and basic systems as part of daily routines.
  • Keeping the restaurant clean and organized while following food safety and sanitation standards.
  • Bringing dependability, positivity, and a supportive attitude to every shift.
  • Meeting the physical requirements of the role, which may include, but are not limited to, standing for long periods, bending, twisting, reaching, lifting up to 55 pounds, and performing routine restaurant tasks, with or without reasonable accommodation.
  • Obtaining and maintaining any required food safety licenses or certifications in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
  • Must be at least 16 years old, making this a great opportunity for teens or anyone eager to gain new skills and start building their career.
