Line Cook
Full-time
Lucky Danger - Chinatown
About Lucky Danger
Lucky Danger isn't your typical American Chinese restaurant—it’s an evolution. We describe it as "American-Chinese by a Chinese-American," a concept that takes the nostalgic flavors we all grew up with and elevates them through the lens of classic culinary technique and high-quality ingredients. It’s fast, it’s intense, and it’s deeply rooted in the idea that this specific cuisine deserves the same level of respect and care as every other cuisine.
We’re part of Tim Ma Hospitality, which means we value systems and precision just as much as we value flavor. At Lucky Danger, we work hard, move fast, and take immense pride in being the neighborhood’s go-to spot. We’re looking for people who want to master a unique craft and grow with a brand that is redefining what modern American-Chinese food looks like.
The Role
The Line Cook is the primary executioner of our menu. You work with focus and precision to ensure every dish that leaves your station is consistent, beautiful, and exactly what the guest expected. You are a vital part of the kitchen's energy and success.
What You’ll Own
- Station Mastery: Own your assigned station from start to finish—from the first prep item to the final wipe-down at night.
- Recipe Consistency: Follow standardized recipes to the gram; maintain our high standards of taste and presentation for every single order.
- Cleanliness: Maintain a "clean-as-you-go" mentality; follow all food safety, labeling, and sanitation protocols meticulously.
- Team Support: Communicate clearly with the Sous Chef/Expo and assist your teammates when your station is clear.
Who You Are
- 1-2 years of experience in a professional kitchen environment.
- A disciplined cook who respects the ingredients and the process.
- Eager to learn, open to feedback, and reliable.
What We Offer
- Competitive hourly rate.
- Health benefits and dining privileges.
- A supportive environment where you can master your craft.
