  • Keep prep stations clean, organized, and fully stocked.
  • Label, date, rotate, and properly store all food.
  • Support line cooks and kitchen flow during service when needed.
  • Maintain food safety and sanitation standards at all times.
  • Help keep the kitchen running smooth before, during, and after service.

What You Bring: 

  • Kitchen or prep experience preferred (we’ll train the right person). 
  • Strong attention to detail and consistency.
  • Ability to stay organized and move with urgency.
  • Reliable work ethic and team-first attitude.
  • Availability for nights, weekends, and busy shifts.

What You Get: 

  • Competitive hourly pay.
  • Growth opportunities into kitchen leadership roles.
  • Staff meals + discounts.
  • Fast-paced, high-energy team environment.
