Experienced Cook

Cook — 1UP Entertainment + Social
Carrollwood / Tampa, FL

1UP is a scratch kitchen inside a bowling, axe, golf-sim, VR, and arcade venue.

We're hiring experienced cooks who bring great attitude, integrity, and a real team-first mindset to the line.

What you'll do

• Cook to recipe — portions, temps, plating — and put out consistent food, ticket after ticket.
• Run your station with a sense of urgency: read the rail, fire on time, communicate clearly with expo and the team.
• Handle open and close cleaning, daily prep, restocking to par, and keeping inventory sheets accurate.
• Clean as you go — station, equipment, kitchen floors, and assist with dish when needed. Everyone helps keep the kitchen tight.
• Flag issues to management early and jump in wherever the team needs you.

What we need

• Prior kitchen experience in a high-volume restaurant or bar.
• Great attitude, integrity, and team-player mindset — non-negotiable.
• Good communication skills — with the line, expo, and management.
• Able to read a POS ticket and prepare multiple orders quickly and accurately.
• Available late nights, weekends, and holidays, and willing to pick up extra shifts as needed.
• Stand and move for long shifts, lift up to 50 lbs, work hot/cold conditions.* Age 18+. Food handler certification (or willing to get one).

What you get

• Competitive pay based on experience.
• 50% off employee discount on meals and attractions.
• Ground-floor growth opportunity — we're building the kitchen team and promoting from within into lead, sous, and kitchen manager roles.
