Kitchen - Tomato Bar Pizza Bakery

Kitchen Team Member – Tomato Bar

Fast-paced. Great team. Learn the kitchen. Move up.

Tomato Bar started in Valparaiso in 2013 with a pretty simple idea: make great pizza, use great ingredients, and build restaurants where people actually enjoy working.

We're looking for motivated, energetic people who like staying busy, learning new things, and being part of a strong team.

Restaurant experience is great, but it's not required . We'd rather hire someone with a great attitude and strong work ethic and teach them the rest.

What It's Like Working Here

Our kitchens are busy, especially on nights and weekends. You'll work hard—but you'll work alongside a team that communicates, helps each other out, and has fun doing it.

You won't necessarily be stuck doing the same thing every shift, either.

Our kitchen includes:

Pizza • Appetizers • Sandwiches • Salads • Expo • Prep • Dough • Dish

We'll train you in different areas of the kitchen as you develop.

If you're dependable, work hard, and want more responsibility, there are opportunities to learn new positions and grow into leadership roles.

What We're Looking For

You don't need an impressive résumé.

We're looking for people who:

• Show up ready to work
• Bring positive energy
• Move with a sense of urgency
• Work well with a team
• Take pride in doing things correctly
• Can handle a busy restaurant without shutting down
• Want to learn and improve
• Are willing to jump in and help wherever they're needed

If you're the kind of person who likes being busy and seeing what your team accomplished at the end of a shift, you'll probably fit in well here.

What You'll Do

Depending on your position and training, you'll:

• Prepare and cook food to Tomato Bar standards
• Learn different stations throughout the kitchen
• Prep ingredients and stock your station
• Keep your workspace clean and organized
• Follow food safety and sanitation standards
• Help receive and put away deliveries
• Communicate with teammates and managers
• Jump in when another part of the kitchen needs help

What You Get

We want Tomato Bar to be a place where good employees want to stay.

Benefits include:

• 75% company-paid health, dental & vision insurance for full-time team members
• 401(k) with company matching
• Paid Time Off for ALL team members
• Sick time for full-time team members
• HSA-eligible health plans
• Flexible scheduling
• Employee discounts at Tomato Bar and Blockhead Beerworks
• Competitive pay

Requirements

• Restaurant experience is preferred, but not required
• Ability to work on your feet throughout a shift
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
• Availability for some nights and weekends
• Willingness to learn, communicate, and work as part of a team

We'll teach you how to work in our kitchen. You bring the attitude, effort, and energy.

If you're looking for a job where you can stay busy, make some money, learn useful skills, and work with a good team, we'd like to meet you.
