Creative Cooks Wanted – Come Grow With Us!

Hudson’s Restaurant & Catering | Hudson, Ohio

Full-Time & Part-Time Opportunities

CLOSED Sundays & Most Major Holidays

Creative Kitchen | Growth Opportunities | Experienced Culinary Team

Love Cooking? We Want to See What You Can Create.

Hudson’s Restaurant & Catering is growing, and we're looking for creative, passionate, and dependable cooks who want to do more than simply follow the same recipes every day.

We're looking for a few talented people to join our culinary team, help us produce the food our guests have come to love, and bring fresh ideas to our weekly specials and evolving menus.

If you love cooking, enjoy being creative, and want to work somewhere that gives its kitchen team an opportunity to contribute, Hudson’s could be the kitchen you've been looking for.

Yes... We’re CLOSED on Sundays!

Restaurant life doesn't always have to mean giving up your entire weekend.

Hudson’s is CLOSED every Sunday and most major holidays.

That's right.

Work in the restaurant industry—and still have Sundays to yourself.

Spend the day with your family. Watch football. Go to the lake. Sleep in.

Sunday is yours.

This Is a Kitchen for Cooks Who Love Food

We don't want our cooks to simply come in, work a station, and go home.

We want people who are interested in food.

People who want to learn.

People who have ideas.

People who get excited about creating something new and seeing guests order it.

Our specials change every week, and much of that creativity comes directly from our kitchen team collaborating and developing new ideas together.

Have a dish you've always wanted to put on a menu?

We want to hear about it.

A True Teaching Kitchen

Between our owners and culinary management team, Hudson’s has more than 90 years of combined culinary experience.

That experience is meant to be shared.

Whether you want to improve your fundamentals, learn another station, develop your creativity, or eventually move into kitchen leadership, you'll be surrounded by people who can help you become a stronger cook.

Depending on your experience and goals, you can continue developing skills in:

• Sauté, grill, fry, and other stations
• Knife skills and fabrication
• Meat and seafood cookery
• Stocks, soups, and sauces
• Prep and production
• Plating and presentation
• Brunch service
• Catering and private events
• High-volume execution
• Menu and special development
• Food costing and portion control
• Kitchen organization and leadership

If you want to learn, we'll teach.

If you have ideas, we'll listen.

If you want to grow, there are opportunities ahead.

We're Growing Again

Hudson’s is entering another period of growth, and we want to build the culinary team that grows with us.

That means we're not simply looking to fill today's schedule.

We're looking for cooks who may eventually want to become:

Lead Cooks • Kitchen Managers • Sous Chefs • Culinary Leaders

If you demonstrate skill, reliability, creativity, leadership, and a desire to take on more responsibility, we want to create opportunities for you to advance.

More Than One Kind of Cooking

Hudson’s isn't just a lunch-and-dinner restaurant.

Our culinary operation includes:

• Year-round restaurant service
• Saturday brunch
• Weekly chef and cook-created specials
• Catering
• Private parties
• Special events
• Seasonal menus
• Holiday events
• Nightmare Before Blitzen’s
• Blitzen’s
• O’Blitzen’s

That variety gives our culinary team opportunities to work with different menus, ingredients, techniques, and styles of service throughout the year.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in cooks who:

• Genuinely enjoy cooking
• Take pride in the food they serve
• Have solid kitchen fundamentals
• Want to continue improving their skills
• Enjoy contributing ideas
• Understand the importance of mise en place
• Stay organized during busy service
• Work with urgency without sacrificing quality
• Communicate with their teammates
• Keep a clean and organized station
• Show up prepared and can be counted on
• Help the team when another station gets hit
• Want to be part of building something

Previous professional kitchen experience is preferred, but culinary school is not required.

Your experience, attitude, creativity, reliability, and willingness to learn matter more to us than what's printed on a résumé.
