Qualifications

  • At least one year of experience in a prep or production kitchen

  • Strong knife skills and familiarity with standard commercial kitchen equipment

  • Ability to follow recipes, measurements, and preparation instructions precisely

  • Ability to work weekday shifts scheduled between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.

  • Availability for occasional weekend event support

  • Interest in sustainable food practices; experience with waste-conscious cooking is a plus

  • Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 pounds, if applicable

If you’re ready to grow your skills in a professional catering environment and contribute to memorable events, we’d love to hear from you.
