• Support special events and catering functions as needed.
• Contribute ideas and enthusiasm as the new food truck concept grows.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 5 years of professional cooking experience in a restaurant and/or food truck environment (fast-food-only experience does not qualify).
• Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish is required.
• Strong cooking fundamentals and knowledge of food safety and sanitation standards.
• A friendly, outgoing personality with a passion for exceptional customer service.
• Ability to multitask, stay organized, and maintain quality during busy service periods.
