  • Support higher-level cooks by prepping sauces, dressings, and accompaniments.
  • Maintain sanitation and organization of your station while keeping up with the pace of a busy casino restaurant.

What We're Looking For

  • 612 months of experience as a prep or line cook, or recent culinary training.
  • Solid knife skills and attention to detail.
  • A willingness to learn concept-specific fundamentals (Italian cuisine a plus!).
  • Team-first attitude, ability to take direction, and a professional presence.

Why Join Us?

This is your chance to be part of something brand new in Chicagoland. At Hollywood Casino Joliet, you'll be working in a celebrity-driven concept where you can build your skills, grow your career, and learn from some of the best in the industry.
