We are seeking an eager, driven individual with a deep passion for food to join our kitchen team. This is not a standard line-cook position; it is a dedicated mentorship program. Over an agreed timeline, you will be rigorously cross-trained in every aspect of professional cooking, menu development, and kitchen operations to eventually step into a Sous Chef role.
Station Mastery: Gain hands-on experience and eventual leadership of every station in the kitchen.
Kitchen Operations: Learn back-of-house logistics, including inventory tracking, ordering, and proper food storage.
Leadership & Teamwork: Develop the soft skills needed to manage a team, communicate effectively during a rush, and expedite food.
Food Safety & Sanitation: Master health codes, cross-contamination prevention, and safety compliance.
Requirements & Qualifications
The "It" Factor: An insatiable appetite for learning, a positive attitude, and a high level of receptiveness to feedback.
Experience: Some basic kitchen or prep experience is helpful, but a formal culinary degree is not required. Your drive and dedication are your most valuable assets.
Physical Demands: Ability to stand for long periods, work in a fast-paced environment, and lift up to 50 lbs.
Flexibility: Must be available to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required in the food and hospitality industry.
What We Offer
Direct Mentorship: One-on-one training and career progression guidance directly from our Executive Chef.
Career Growth: A clear, defined pathway from a trainee to a full-fledged Sous Chef.
Competitive Compensation: Hourly pay rate with scheduled performance and compensation reviews as milestones are met.
Benefits Include: meals, health care and paid vacations for full-time employees.
