  • Communication: Fluent English speaking skills are required to facilitate clear communication and diversify kitchen leadership during busy services.
  • Attributes: Highly organized, adaptable, and eager to grow within a system-oriented kitchen.
  • Availability: Must be able to commit to 45 to 50 hours per week for evening services.

Benefits
