Cook I

Love working with food, but ready for a schedule that gives you your life back?

Quest Food Management Services is looking for dependable, energetic Cook I team members to join our school food service team.

Both full-time and part-time opportunities are available.

What You'll Do

As a Cook I, you'll help keep our kitchen running smoothly while preparing and serving fresh, quality meals that meet Quest standards. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Assisting with bulk food preparation and catering preparation
  • Preparing cold items, salads, and grab-and-go offerings
  • Serving guests on the hot food line in a friendly and professional manner
  • Assisting customers and keeping serving lines clean, organized, and well maintained
  • Receiving kitchen deliveries and properly putting away products and supplies
  • Supporting kitchen cleaning and day-to-day operational needs
  • Following all HACCP, food safety, sanitation, and Quest standards
Why Join Quest?

  • No nights, weekends, or holidays
  • Summers off
  • Career growth and future promotional opportunities
  • Two opportunities for raises each school year, based on company and individual performance

  • Discounts on event spaces and catering

Full-time team members are also eligible for medical, dental, vision, and additional voluntary benefits.
