Part Time Cook

Cook

Topgolf is where golf meets a great time. We're a high-energy sports entertainment venue where every shift is different, every guest brings their own energy, and the people who work here make it all happen. If you're looking for a place to grow, have fun, and be part of something bigger than a job description, you're in the right place.

The Cook is responsible for preparing and executing high-quality food that delights our guests on every visit. This role requires consistency, speed, and a genuine commitment to food quality — across every station, every shift. Whether you're on grill, fry, pantry, or prep, you bring the same level of care and execution every time.

This role requires a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays, with availability to work extended hours during peak periods, special events, and high-volume seasons.

• Follow recipes exactly and maintain consistent food quality and portion accuracy at every station
