ABOUT TOPGOLF

Topgolf is where golf meets a great time. We're a high-energy sports entertainment venue where every shift is different, every guest brings their own energy, and the people who work here make it all happen. If you're looking for a place to grow, have fun, and be part ofsomething bigger than a job description, you're in the right place.

WHAT WE'RE SEEKING

Are you someone who takes pride in every plate, thrives under pressure, and brings your best every single shift? Do you have the technique, the speed, and the attention to detail that separates a good cook from a great one? Can you work multiple stations, execute recipes consistently, and keep your station spotless without being told twice?

We're looking for a Cook who shows up ready, executes with precision, and takes real ownership of their station. You'll prep, cook, and present food that meets Topgolf's standards every time - not just on good nights, but every service. If you love working in a fast kitchen and you care about the food you put out, this is your role.

THE ROLE

The Cook is responsible for preparing and executing high-quality food that delights our guests on every visit. This role requires consistency, speed, and a genuine commitment to food quality - across every station, every shift. Whether you're on grill, fry, pantry, or prep, you bring the same level of care and execution every time.

This role requires a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays, with availability to work extended hours during peak periods, special events, and high-volume seasons.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Execute at Your Station

Prepare and cook menu items to Topgolf recipes and standards across all assigned stations - Grill, Fry, Pantry, Prep, Flattop, and Sauté
Execute prep lists completely and on time so the kitchen is fully stocked and ready before service begins
Plate and present food to Topgolf's standards on every dish - same quality, same presentation, every time
Work as a dependable team member, communicating with your fellow cooks and supervisors to keep service moving smoothly

Own Your Station

Keep your station stocked, organized, and ready - throughout prep and all the way through service
Follow recipes exactly and maintain consistent food quality and portion accuracy at every station
Store ingredients properly to prevent spoilage and minimize waste, following all food safety guidelines
Arrange prepared food in designated areas for retrieval by serving staff accurately and on time

Keep the Kitchen Safe and Clean

Clean, sanitize, and maintain your work areas, surfaces, utensils, and equipment throughout and after each shift
Operate all kitchen equipment properly, safely, and report any maintenance concerns to the Chef team promptly
Follow all food handling, storage, and safety standards in compliance with local health and safety regulations
Demonstrate Topgolf's Core Values in every interaction: Fun, One Team, Excellence, Courage, and Caring

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE

You'll cook in one of the highest-energy culinary environments in entertainment - no two shifts are the same
You'll take real ownership of your station and see the direct impact your work has on every guest experience
You'll build your culinary skills with support from an experienced chef team that wants to see you grow
You'll work in a place where great food and a great time go hand in hand
