Brookhaven Market

Job Description

Job Description

Our Quick Intro

At Brookhaven Market, we're more than just a chain of family-owned grocery stores; we're dedicated to crafting memorable customer experiences. Our mission is to bring the world's best foods to the communities we serve, ensuring every shopping trip is a journey of culinary delight.

Role Rundown

Brookhaven Market in Burr Ridge, IL is hiring a Full Time, onsite Kitchen Prep/Cook to keep our prepared foods case stocked with consistent, craveable results. Pay is $17–$20/hour.

This Kitchen Prep/Cook role is all about solid execution: prep and cook menu items to standardized recipes, keep your workstation clean and organized, and stay sharp on food safety, sanitation, and temperature control. When things get busy, you’ll jump onto dishwashing, help receive deliveries, rotate inventory using FIFO, and support waste reduction so the kitchen runs smooth.

You’ll do well here if you bring:
- Knowledge of basic cooking techniques
- Understanding of food safety and sanitation standards
- Familiarity with kitchen equipment and tools.
- Understanding of inventory rotation (FIFO) and waste reduction practices.
- Ability to follow recipes and instructions accurately.
- Strong time management and multitasking abilities.
- Knife skills and safe food preparation techniques.
- Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment.
- Teamwork and communication skills.
- Ability to stand for long periods and lift up to 30 lbs.
- Problem-solving skills during busy service times.

If you’ve handled a fast kitchen and like a steady full-time groove, apply now. Daily Kitchen Flow

You’ll punch in and set up your station like a pro (tools out, temps checked, game on). The day moves in quick rounds—prep, cook, portion, repeat—so the prepared foods case stays looking sharp. Between batches, you’ll tidy as you go, knock out dishes, and keep labels and storage dialed in. When a delivery rolls up, you’ll help put it away and rotate stock so nothing gets buried in the back. You’ll head out with a clean reset for the next shift.

Perks for Pros

Kitchen Prep/Cook pace is real—so we’ve got your back with Medical, Dental & Vision, Paid Time Off to recharge, and Employee Discounts for the post-shift grocery run.
