Moto Deli, Leucadia's go-to spot for chef-driven sandwiches and artisanal eats, is looking for a skilled and motivated Cook to join our back-of-house team. We pride ourselves on house-cured meats, fresh ingredients, and a menu that elevates the classic deli experience.

If you have a passion for culinary precision, enjoy a high-energy kitchen, and want to prep some of the best sandwiches in North County, we want you on the line!


What You'll Do

  • Master the Menu: Execute our signature sandwich menu with consistency, ensuring every plate meets our high standards for flavor, temperature, and presentation.

  • Prep with Purpose: Handle daily food prep-including slicing high-quality meats, preparing house-made sauces, and portioning fresh ingredients-to keep the kitchen ready for the rush.

  • Own the Line: Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient station. You'll need to pivot quickly between tickets while keeping your cool during the busy lunch hour.

  • Collaborate: Work closely with the FOH team and fellow cooks to ensure smooth communication and timely ticket fulfillment.

  • Maintain Safety: Uphold strict food safety and sanitation standards. From temperature logs to station cleanliness, you ensure a safe environment for the team and our guests.


What You'll Bring

  • Line Experience: Proven experience as a cook in a fast-paced kitchen. Experience with deli-style service or high-volume sandwich production is a plus.

  • Knife Skills: Strong fundamental skills and the ability to handle high-quality ingredients with care and efficiency.

  • Reliability: A solid work ethic and the flexibility to work shifts that include mornings, weekends, and midday rushes.

  • Sense of Urgency: The ability to move fast without sacrificing quality or attention to detail.

  • Team Player: A positive attitude and a willingness to jump in wherever the kitchen needs support.

  • Certifications: A valid Food Handler card is required.


Why Join Moto Deli?

  • Culinary Pride: Work with top-tier ingredients and chef-driven recipes in a kitchen that values quality over shortcuts.

  • Great Environment: Join a hardworking, tight-knit crew in the heart of the Leucadia community.

  • Quality of Life: Enjoy a fast-paced daytime schedule that keeps your evenings free.

  • Growth: Opportunity to hone your skills and grow within a respected local brand.

  • Competitive Pay: Competitive hourly wage plus tips.
