Line Cook
True Food Kitchen
Who We're Inviting To The Table
We're looking for an experienced full-service Line Cook who knows how to work a busy restaurant line and execute during high-volume service. You'll prep, cook, and plate dishes to order across stations such as Pantry, Pastry, Pizza, Wok, Sauté, or Grill. Previous full-service, made-to-order line experience is important for success in this role, and experience working multiple stations is a big plus.
And a restaurant-industry perk worth calling out: we close at 9 PM five nights a week—no late-night closes!
Recipe For Success
- Execute made-to-order dishes during busy lunch and dinner service
- Prepare starters, entrées, pizzas, and more across assigned line stations
- Follow recipes, portions, ticket timing, and quality standards
- Maintain consistency and presentation during high-volume service
- Keep your station clean, stocked, organized, and ready for service
- Assist with prep and opening/closing responsibilities
- Operate ovens, stoves, grills, fryers, and other kitchen equipment
- Prepare ingredients by portioning, chopping, weighing, measuring, and mixing
- Clean and sanitize work areas, tools, knives, and equipment
The Perfect Pairing
- 6+ months of full-service restaurant line experience preferred
- Experience executing made-to-order food during active service
- Comfortable working a station and keeping pace with ticket volume
- Experience on multiple stations such as Grill, Sauté, Wok, Pizza, or Pantry is a plus
- Strong knife skills and ability to consistently execute recipes
- Passion for great food and quality presentation
- Teamwork, speed, communication, and organization under pressure
- Flexibility for nights, weekends, and holidays
- Ability to lift up to 50 pounds, stand for extended periods, and continuously bend, reach, and twist
What You Can Look Forward To
- No late nights—we close at 9 PM most nights
- AM, PM, and mid-day shifts available
- Part-time schedules up to 40 hours available
- A professional, successful work environment with opportunities for growth and a development program designed to help you reach the next step in your career
- Part-time team members have access to affordable, quality health care through Hooray Health and telehealth options
- Pet insurance for your fur babies
- Access to expert guidance through EAP/SupportLinc to help you and your family address everyday challenges
- Restaurant dining discount
- Paid volunteer time to support your community and favorite charities
- Eligibility to give to and receive from the True Giving Fund, which supports team members through life-changing events
