Prep Cook / Catering Prep / Line Support — Immediate Start

Kitchen 1437 is hiring a reliable Prep Cook to help with catering prep, daily prep and line support.

We are a small kitchen in Los Angeles specializing in to-go food orders and corporate catering. We are looking for someone with professional kitchen experience who can follow procedures, take direction, ask questions when needed and work with a good attitude as part of a small team.

We are looking for someone who is available to start right away. This is not a good fit for someone who needs to give two weeks notice before starting.

This role is primarily prep and catering production, with the opportunity to learn and support the line as needed. The right person may help with cold line, hot line support, order production, stocking, setup and prep depending on experience and business needs.

This position could be a good fit for someone who already works in kitchens and is looking for steady part-time hours, a second job, or room to grow into more responsibility.

Part-time daytime hours. Ideal schedule may be Monday Wednesday or Monday Thursday, with possible additional hours depending on catering volume.

This could be a good second job for someone who works evenings or weekends elsewhere.
