  • 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, Saut, 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 nightswe 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
