Cook - Full Time Lead Cook 1st & 2nd shifts

Lead PM Cook
KitchFix is a chef-driven organization that seeks to provide best-in-class hospitality through quality food and unparalleled service. Our operations include contract dining for performance-focused operations in eight states and a headquarters based in Chicago. We believe exceptional hospitality helps all individuals reach their full potential.
Right now, we're building out the culinary team at the St. Louis Cardinals' Player Development Complex at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter, FL. And we need someone who can lead the kitchen when the lights are on.
The Lead PM Cook is the person who runs the back of house from 2:00 PM through close on home game nights. During the regular season, our kitchen can operate from 4:00 AM to 10:30 PM. The morning crew handles breakfast and lunch. You take over in the afternoon, prep the pre-game fuel, execute the post-game meal, and close the kitchen down with your crew.
Here's what makes this role different from most cook positions: after 6:00 PM, there's no chef or manager on-site. The Sous Chef hands the kitchen to you, and you carry it through the final service. You're making the calls on timing, quality, and execution. The players, coaches, and training staff are counting on you to deliver and we're trusting you to represent KitchFix when no one's watching.
This is a year-round, full-time position. During away weeks and the off-season, you'll shift to morning schedules for batch cooking, recipe development, and deep prep. On Home Game Nights (2:00 PM ~10:00 PM)
Prep and execute the post-BP mini meal for PBC players hot and cold options, because the cold bar is shut down for the day by this point
Prep and fire the post-game meal condensed hot buffet, composed salad, and fruit cups, served in to-go boxes (one per player)
Watch the game and time your staging accordingly a 7-inning blowout and a 12-inning marathon end at very different times, and you need to be ready for both
Close the kitchen alongside the PM FOH clean, secure, reset for morning
Shift to AM schedule for batch cooking, sauce production, and advance prep
Work alongside the Sous Chef on menu development, recipe testing, and process improvements
Deep cleaning, equipment upkeep, and kitchen project work
We're looking for someone who's ready to lead. That might mean you've been a strong line cook who's been closing kitchens on your own for a while. It might mean you ran a food truck and did everything yourself. What matters is that people trust your judgment, your food is consistent, and you don't need someone standing behind you to do your best work.

Have a demonstrated ability to lead you've closed kitchens, managed service, or held things together when the chef wasn't around
Get fired up about cooking for professional athletes in a high-performance environment
Take pride in building meals that are flavorful, nutrient-dense, and consistent every single time
Communicate well and bring positive energy to a small, tight crew
Bonus Points If You:
Have worked inside a training facility, team dining room, or athletic program
Demonstrated ability to lead a small team and close a kitchen independently
Solid professional kitchen experience with strong fundamentals in both hot and cold production
Availability to work afternoons, evenings, weekends, and select holidays during the baseball season
This is more than a seasonal job it's a chance to build your skills, expand your culinary experience, and work in a professional sports environment that few cooks ever get to see.
