Please read before applying

• You must be available to work 4:00 PM–10:00 PM.
• You must have reliable transportation to and from work.
• Washing dishes is a required part of every shift. There is no plateware, so this simply means washing the tools and equipment used during shift.
• Consistent attendance and punctuality are essential. Frequent avoidable callouts and no-shows do not meet the expectations of this role.

What you'll do

• Cook smashburgers and other grill items to our standards.
• Maintain consistent portions, quality, and speed during service.
• Keep the grill, tools, and workstation clean, sanitized, and organized.
• Follow food safety, handwashing, and safe food handling procedures.
• Wash dishes, cookware, and utensils during part of each shift.
• Restock your station and complete kitchen cleaning and closing duties.
• Communicate clearly and work closely with the kitchen team.

What we're looking for

• Previous restaurant grill or line cook experience.
• Smashburger and flat-top grill experience required.
• Strong sanitation habits and pride in a clean kitchen.
• Dependability, punctuality, and steady work habits.
• Ability to follow instructions and stay organized during busy service.
• Willingness to contribute to cooking, dishwashing, and cleanup every day.

Pay

To apply
Submit your work history and confirm that you can work 4:00 PM–10:00 PM and are comfortable washing dishes during every shift. Experience carving hot meats for sandwiches gets you to the front of the line.

Open availability preferred, nights and weekends required.
