Line Cook - South First

Dish Society | South First (Austin)

At Dish Society, we believe great food starts with great people—and strong standards.

We're a chef-driven, farm-to-table concept serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch—all made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Our style? Elevated, but approachable. Fast-paced, but intentional. We're not just cooking food—we're creating experiences our guests come back for.

We're currently hiring Line Cooks (AM & PM) to join our Mueller team in Austin.

What You'll Do

As a Line Cook, you'll play a key role in bringing our menu to life. Our kitchen is fast-paced, scratch-based, and built on consistency, cleanliness, and high standards.

This is not a single-station role—you'll be expected to learn and work across the kitchen.

You'll:

• Work across all stations (Dish, Prep, Salad/Sandwich, Grill/Fry, Sauté, Expo)
• Prepare dishes like salads, sandwiches, salmon, omelets, pancakes, and more
• Follow recipes and specs to ensure consistency and quality every time
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace (clean as you go is the standard)
• Support your team to keep service running smoothly and efficiently
• Uphold food quality, speed, and execution during high-volume service

Standards & Cross Training

At Dish Society, standards matter—and so does growth.

• You will be cross-trained across multiple stations
• You will not remain in just one position—flexibility is required
• Each station has clear expectations and standards that must be met
• As you master stations, your skillset and value within the team grow

Growth & Opportunity

We believe in developing our people and promoting from within.

• Opportunity to learn every station in the kitchen
• Ability to increase your value and earning potential as you grow
• Pathways into leadership roles for those who show consistency and accountability

What We're Looking For

We want people who take pride in their work and care about the details.

You're a great fit if you:

• Have previous kitchen experience
• Can read recipes and follow systems
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment
• Stay calm, focused, and organized under pressure
• Work well on a team and communicate clearly
• Take feedback well and actively work to improve
• Are open to learning multiple stations and adapting where needed
• Spanish-speaking is preferred for line communication

What Matters Here

At Dish Society, we hire based on more than just skill.

We look for people who live our core values:

• Pride – You care about the food you put out
• Hospitality – You support your team like you support guests
• Growth – You're always looking to get better
• Connectedness – You show up for your team

Physical & Schedule Expectations

• Able to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs
• Comfortable working with heat, equipment, and a fast-paced kitchen
• Available to work mornings, nights, weekends, and holidays

Food Safety

• Food Handler Certification required
• Follow all safety and sanitation standards at all times

Why Dish Society
