Kitchen Line

The Melting Pot

DESCRIPTION

Position Summary

The Line Person supports our kitchen team by preparing and assembling high-quality ingredients for our fondue dining experience. Unlike a traditional kitchen, most items are prepared for guests to cook tableside, making accuracy, organization, and consistency far more important than cooking experience.

Key Responsibilities
  • Prepare, portion, and plate ingredients according to Melting Pot standards and recipes
  • Set up and maintain a clean, organized line for service
  • Manage prep lists efficiently to ensure all items are ready for service
  • Prioritize tasks during busy periods to support smooth kitchen flow
  • Maintain proper food handling, storage, and sanitation standards
  • Communicate effectively with kitchen teammates and management
  • Assist with opening and closing duties as assigned
  • Maintain attention to detail to ensure accuracy, quality, and consistency on every plate
Qualifications & Skills
  • No prior cooking or kitchen experience required (we will train the right person)
  • Strong time management and prioritization skills
  • High attention to detail and ability to follow systems and standards
  • Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment
  • Dependable, punctual, and team-oriented
  • Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 40 lbs
  • Willingness to learn and take direction
Why Work at The Melting Pot
  • No traditional cooking line or fryers
  • Structured systems and clear expectations
  • Team-focused environment
  • Opportunities for growth within the restaurant
  • A unique dining concept centered around guest experience
REQUIREMENTS
  • Ability to understand and follow direction from others.
  • Ability to read recipes and memorize and replicate food production procedures.
  • Ability to work in a high volume, fast-paced work environment.
  • Skill and coordination with kitchen utensils and equipment.
