YOUR ROLE

Being on the Tazikis Kitchen Team means you get excited about creating fresh food youre proud of and have a desire to serve guests, making meaningful connections with them. It means you know crafting a fresh meal takes prepping quality ingredients every day with great attention to detail. It also means you collaborate and communicate well with your team in a fast-paced setting to create a great working environment.

WHAT YOUR TEAMMATES SAY

I enjoyed working at Taziki's. I was friends with all of my co-workers so it felt like a family! I had good pay and great hours! I enjoyed learning how to do a lot of things in the kitchen!

It has been by far my favorite job. I love the brand and what Taziki's stands for. The food is all fresh every day, everything is made that morning.

A DAY IN YOUR TAZIKIS LIFE

As a Kitchen Team Member, your day starts with the heart of what we do prepping fresh ingredients to become extraordinary meals. Say good morning to your team, grab your prep sheet, and dive in. Youll spend a couple of hours checking the quality of your products and following the recipes for your station, and (as is the Tazikis way!) cleaning your dishes and your station as you go. Before the doors open for lunch, youll work as a team to prepare catering orders and then set up your station on the line. Next, youll welcome guests (say hello!) and make fresh meals to order alongside your line team for both Dine-In and Take-Out. Once the rush has passed, you may have a bit more prepping to do to set up your evening team, you might run the line with your manager during our Thru period, or you might grab a tablet and do some online training courses to learn a new station or aim for a leadership role.

If youre on the evening team, youll check your station when you arrive in the afternoon to make sure youre set for dinner service. Get the hand-off from your morning team and see if you have any items to prep. Youll welcome our dinner guests and produce lots of delicious meals for families to take home with our popular Off-Premise options. As the night winds down, youll clean and organize your products and equipment, making sure all is good to go for the busy morning crew. Say goodnight to your team, be proud of all the people you fed today, and come back tomorrow to make it happen again!
