Junior Chef

Cluck & Char

Job Description

Job Description

Cluck & Char is not just another chicken restaurant.

We're building a modern fast-casual brand centered around fire, flavor, speed, hospitality, and consistency. Our menu features roasted chicken, handcrafted sandwiches, fresh sides, and bold sauces—all designed with quality in mind.

This is a rare opportunity to become the first chef hired by the company and help establish the culinary foundation from day one.

We are not looking for a celebrity chef or a six-figure executive chef.

We're looking for a talented Level 2 Chef who has recently graduated from culinary school, is eager to learn, enjoys working with systems, and wants to grow alongside an expanding company.

The Position

Level 2 Chef (Hourly) – Entry-level culinary position with significant growth potential

What You'll Do

●       Prepare and execute recipes with precision and consistency

●       Assist in recipe development and testing

●       Help standardize recipes and operating procedures for future scaling

●       Maintain food quality, safety, and presentation standards

●       Work directly alongside ownership during the startup phase

●       Manage inventory and contribute to food cost control

●       Maintain an organized, clean, and professional kitchen

●       Learn every station and develop deep culinary skills

Requirements

●       Recent graduate of an accredited culinary school or entry level chef experience

●       Fluent in English (speaking, reading, writing) and Spanish is an asset.

●       Passion for cooking and continuous learning

●       Strong work ethic and positive attitude

●       Team oriented mindset

●       Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment

●       Authorized to work in the United States

Who This Position Is Perfect For

Someone who wants to grow with an emerging restaurant company, is excited about building processes from the beginning, takes pride in consistency and execution, and is looking for opportunity—not just another kitchen job.

\nCompany Description

Cluck & Char is a new concept centered around rotisserie chicken, salad and rice bowls and wraps.
