• Properly label, store, rotate, and handle food products
• Assist with opening, closing, and general kitchen cleaning responsibilities
• Follow all food safety, sanitation, and workplace safety procedures
• Jump in and support the kitchen team wherever needed during high-volume service

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of line cook experience in a fast-paced restaurant kitchen preferred
• Solid knife skills and working knowledge of common cooking methods and commercial kitchen equipment
• Ability to follow recipes, portion standards, and plating specifications
• Strong sense of urgency without sacrificing food quality
• Ability to stay organized and focused during busy service periods
• Dependable, punctual, and ready to work as part of a team

• Employee discounts and perks
• Be part of a growing local Riverside restaurant and entertainment venue
