Live Oak Nashville, a high-energy bar and live music venue on Music Row, is hiring Line Cooks to join our back-of-house team. We're the official Nashville bar for the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Indiana University, and Penn State, and our kitchen runs a full craft bar-food menu built for speed and consistency house-smoked bone-in wings, scratch-made dips, loaded smokin' potatoes, build-your-own craft burgers, street tacos, border grill plates, and shareable baskets, served to a packed house night after night.

- Communicate clearly with kitchen leadership and the front-of-house team to keep service running smoothly.
- Take direction well and adapt to other back-of-house tasks as needed.
What We're Looking For:
- 0-1+ years of line cook or kitchen experience (we're open to training the right person).
- Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, high-volume bar kitchen.
- Reliable, punctual, and able to work nights, weekends, and some holidays.
- A team-first attitude our kitchen works closely together, especially during our busiest hours.
- Food handler certification a plus, or willingness to obtain one.

- Overtime paid at 1.5x for all hours over 40/week, per FLSA.
