• Follow food safety, sanitation, and portion control standards
• Collaborate with servers and kitchen staff to deliver excellent guest experiences
• Keep your station clean, organized, and ready for the next rush

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous experience as a short order cook, line cook, grill cook, or restaurant cook strongly preferred

• Knowledge of food preparation, kitchen operations, and cooking techniques
• Team player with solid communication skills
