Prep Cook:

Doing daily prep by following recipes and protocols for our standard service items. This will also include working the line as we prep during lunch service which tends to be lighter than dinner service. Sometimes there is prep needed while dinner service is running. Flexibility to handle both tasks is key.

Cleaning and maintaining the kitchen - daily and weekly cleaning duties to maintain our kitchens, dish washing and end of shift wrap up.

Line Cook:

Same as above without the prep. Weekend dinner is our busiest time and flow can vary. We have a hot side and cold side and proficiency at both stations are necessary.

Expo:

Weekend evenings will often have EXPO shifts to organize tickets, garnish, add dressings and dipping sauces and sometimes run food.

We have full-time and part-time positions available. Hourly compensation available and we offer a 401K program. Serious inquires only!
