One Kitchen Hiring Pool

We are hiring Line Cooks, Prep Cooks, and Dishwashers through one opening-team hiring pool. Please apply to the position that best matches your experience or interests—you do not need to apply to more than one listing. During the interview process, we’ll work together to determine the best fit based on your strengths, experience, and the needs of the restaurant.

Why Join Us?

Savina’s Mexican Kitchen is hiring Line Cooks, Prep Cooks, and Dishwashers for the opening team at our newest restaurant.

This is an opportunity to join a growing Colorado restaurant company, train alongside your new teammates, and help establish a kitchen culture built around quality, consistency, cleanliness, and teamwork from day one.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Competitive pay of $19–$25 per hour
  • Approximately 33–40 hours per week
  • Comprehensive pre-opening training
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance for eligible team members
  • Paid sick leave
  • 40 hours of paid time off after one year of full-time back-of-house employment
  • Employee dining discounts
  • Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day off
  • Opportunities for training, development, and advancement
Available Positions

We are hiring for several positions and will work with each candidate to determine the best fit based on experience, strengths, and the needs of the restaurant.

Line Cooks

Prepare and cook menu items according to Savina’s recipes, portions, presentation standards, and food-safety practices. Line Cooks maintain an organized station and work with urgency, accuracy, and consistency throughout service.

Prep Cooks

Prepare ingredients and recipes that set the kitchen up for successful service. Prep Cooks follow recipes and portion standards, maintain accurate labeling and rotation, and keep their work areas clean and organized.

Dishwashers

Keep the kitchen moving by maintaining clean dishes, cookware, equipment, and work areas. Dishwashers support the entire restaurant through organization, sanitation, reliability, and a team-first attitude.

About Savina’s

Inspired by Grandma Savina’s kitchen and the Brinkerhoff family’s travels throughout Mexico, Savina’s Mexican Kitchen brings together time-honored recipes, carefully prepared food, and genuine hospitality.

Savina’s is part of Brinkerhoff Hospitality, an independent and growing Colorado restaurant company whose concepts also include Sierra, The Brinkerhoff, and Bar Hummingbird.

Our Culture of Care

At Brinkerhoff Hospitality, we believe every guest should feel seen. That experience begins with a team that genuinely cares—for our guests, for one another, and for doing the work well.

Our values guide how we show up each day:

  • Better Every Day
  • Positive Mental Attitude
  • Team First
  • Service with Heart

We hire for character and potential. Experience matters, but reliability, effort, curiosity, and the way you support your teammates matter just as much.

What You’ll Do

Responsibilities will vary by position and may include:

  • Prepare, cook, or clean according to established recipes, procedures, and standards
  • Follow food-safety, sanitation, labeling, and product-rotation practices
  • Keep workstations clean, organized, stocked, and ready for service
  • Use ingredients, supplies, and equipment responsibly
  • Communicate clearly with teammates and managers
  • Work with urgency while maintaining quality and attention to detail
  • Complete opening, closing, cleaning, and assigned side work
  • Support other areas of the kitchen when needed
  • Contribute to a positive, respectful, and team-focused environment
What We’re Looking For
  • A dependable, positive, and team-oriented approach
  • Weekend and scheduled pre-opening training availability
  • The ability to follow recipes, procedures, and food-safety standards
  • Comfort working in a busy, fast-paced kitchen
  • Strong attention to cleanliness, organization, and detail
  • A willingness to learn, receive coaching, and support the team
  • The ability to obtain required food-safety certification within the designated timeframe

Previous restaurant experience is preferred for Line Cook and Prep Cook positions. Previous experience is helpful but not required for Dishwasher candidates who bring reliability, urgency, and a willingness to learn.

Physical Requirements

With or without reasonable accommodation, this position requires the ability to:

  • Stand and move throughout the kitchen for extended periods
  • Frequently bend, reach, push, pull, lift, and carry
  • Safely lift and carry items weighing up to 50 pounds
  • Work around heat, steam, cold temperatures, wet surfaces, and cleaning products
  • Safely use equipment and tools commonly found in a restaurant kitchen
  • Communicate effectively in a busy kitchen environment
  • Perform the essential responsibilities of the position during shifts generally lasting six to eight hours
