About Us

Rendezvous is a vibrant café, restaurant, and wine bar in the heart of O’Fallon, known for serving high-quality breakfast, lunch, dinner, small plates, and desserts in a warm, community-focused atmosphere. We are looking for a dependable, detail-oriented Prep Cook to join our kitchen team and help ensure that every dish we serve reflects our commitment to quality and consistency.

 

Position Overview

The Prep Cook plays an essential role in the kitchen, assisting with ingredient preparation, portioning, recipe execution, and maintaining a clean, organized workspace. You’ll support the line cooks and chefs by preparing items ahead of service and keeping the kitchen running efficiently throughout each shift.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys fast-paced kitchen environments, takes pride in accuracy and organization, and wants to grow their culinary skills in a scratch-focused restaurant.

 

Key Responsibilities
  • Prepare ingredients according to recipes and specifications, including chopping, slicing, portioning, marinating, and measuring

  • Assist with prep for breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, ensuring accurate and timely completion

  • Label, date, and rotate all food items following proper food-safety standards

  • Follow recipes precisely to support consistency across all dishes

  • Maintain a clean, organized prep station and contribute to overall kitchen cleanliness

  • Assist with stocking, inventory management, and receiving deliveries as needed

  • Support line cooks during service by replenishing ingredients and completing last-minute prep items

  • Follow all health department regulations, sanitation procedures, and safe food-handling practices

  • Communicate effectively with the kitchen team to ensure smooth kitchen operations

 

Qualifications
  • Previous experience as a prep cook or in a professional kitchen preferred, but not required for motivated learners

  • Strong knife skills and familiarity with basic cooking and preparation techniques

  • Good organizational skills and the ability to work efficiently under pressure

  • Ability to follow recipes and instructions with accuracy

  • Dependable, punctual, and consistent in daily work habits

  • Able to stand for long periods, lift up to 30 lbs, and handle a fast-paced kitchen environment

  • Team-oriented attitude with strong communication skills

 

Why Work at Rendezvous
  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience

  • Opportunity to work across multiple menu styles (breakfast, lunch, dinner, bakery, wine bar)

  • Supportive culinary team with opportunities to learn and grow

  • Flexible scheduling

  • Free or discounted employee meals during shifts

  • Positive and community-driven workplace culture
