Prep Cook - Burlington Catering Kitchen

Prep Cook - Burlington Catering Kitchen

Tatte began in 2007 in a home kitchen with a passion for baking and the belief that well-crafted food has the power to bring people together. That spirit continues to guide us today.

We are a design-forward bakery and caf bringing together handcrafted food, exceptional coffee, warm hospitality, and beautiful spaces designed for gathering, connection, and everyday ritual.

At our core, we are craftspeople. Chefs, bakers, baristas, and caf teams united by a shared passion for excellence. We believe even the smallest details matter, because every dish, every pastry, and every interaction is an opportunity to brighten someone's day.

We're looking for people who believe hospitality matters and share our mission: To Inspire, Care for, and Nurture Life. Every day.

At Tatte, we believe craft is more than a skill. It's a way of caring. It's found in the details: thoughtfully prepared food, fresh ingredients, collaborative teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to quality. We believe these small acts, repeated every day, have the power to make life a little richer and more meaningful.

You'll join a team that takes pride in its work, supports one another, and is committed to learning and growth. We hold ourselves to high standards while creating an environment where people can develop their talents, build meaningful careers, and make an impact.

As we continue to grow, so do the opportunities for our team. Whether you're exploring a new path or taking the next step in your career, you'll help create moments of inspiration, comfort, and connection for our guests each day.

Because while we serve exceptional food, coffee, and pastries, we hope to create something more enduring: places where people feel welcomed, cared for, and inspired to return again and again.

As a Catering Prep Cook, you'll help prepare all of our dishes from scratch while supporting our Catering team in delivering exceptional food quality and consistency. Working alongside our Catering General Manager, Catering Sous Chef, and kitchen leadership, you'll prepare ingredients, organize production, and ensure every item meets Tatte's standards for craftsmanship, food safety, and hospitality.
