7323 Chicago Café
About 7323 Chicago Café:
7323 Chicago Café is a one-of-a-kind, community-focused café built from a shipping container in the heart of Woodlawn. We serve high-quality coffee, paninis, wraps, desserts, and are launching an exciting new beverage program this season. 7323 Chicago Café is more than just a place for great coffee and bites; it’s a vibrant hub rooted in culture, creativity, and community. We are a business that serves as a space for connection, conversation, and celebration.
Role Overview:
We’re seeking a dependable, detail-oriented Line Cook to join our small but mighty team. The ideal candidate has experience in food prep, cooking, and back-of-house support, and is comfortable working in both café and catering environments. This role focuses on execution: preparing dishes to standard, maintaining consistency, and supporting the Owner/Chef with café service and catering events. Because we’re a small operation, flexibility, teamwork, and multi-tasking are essential. Just as important: a friendly, guest-focused attitude that helps us maintain the 5-star customer experience our café is known for.
Key Responsibilities:
Food Preparation & Service
- Prepare and cook café menu items (paninis, wraps, bowls, and seasonal specials) according to established recipes and standards.
- Assist in catering preparation, packing, and on-site execution as needed.
- Follow direction from the Owner/Chef to ensure consistency in flavor, quality, and presentation.
- Deliver each dish with care, ensuring the same quality that keeps our café’s 5-star reputation strong.
Kitchen Operations:
- Perform daily prep and restocking to keep service running smoothly.
- Maintain food safety, sanitation, and compliance with health codes at all times.
- Assist with inventory rotation and minimizing waste.
Opening & Closing Duties:
- Opening: turn on kitchen equipment, prep ingredients, and ensure readiness for service.
- Closing: store leftovers properly, clean and sanitize prep/cooking areas, dispose of trash, and power down equipment.
- Restock kitchen items for the following shift.
Flexibility & Teamwork:
- Work in an indoor/outdoor, seasonal café setup — handling weather changes and adapting to different traffic flows.
- Collaborate with the Owner and front-of-house team to provide a seamless guest experience.
- Adapt to seasonal specials, catering orders, and occasional pop-up events.
- Step in where needed to support the success of the café.
Qualifications:
- Prior line cook or kitchen experience (café, restaurant, or catering preferred).
- Ability to follow recipes and execute consistently.
- Strong attention to detail, cleanliness, and food safety.
- Friendly, customer-focused mindset — cares about delivering a great guest experience.
- Ability to multitask and stay calm in a fast-paced environment.
- Flexible availability (weekends and some evenings required for catering).
- Dependable, team-oriented, and self-motivated.
Bonus Skills (Not Required):
- Catering or event prep experience.
- Familiarity with kitchen ordering or inventory systems.
- Chicago-based or strong understanding of the city’s food and cultural scene.
What We Offer
- Competitive hourly pay: $17–22/hr (based on experience).
- One free meal and beverage each shift.
- Flexible, supportive environment with opportunities to learn catering.
- A community-driven workplace where your contributions matter.
