About the role

Rib Crib is looking for a Cook who's ready to jump in, work hard, and help deliver smoky, saucy, fall-off-the-bone BBQ to every guest. No pitmaster experience is required—we'll teach you the smoker if you bring the hustle.

Responsibilities

• Prepping, cutting, and smoking meats and poultry
• Keeping the kitchen moving—from prep to plate, fast and clean
• Hustling pans, trays, and containers between stations, smokers, and coolers
• Maintaining a spotless station (a clean kitchen is a happy kitchen)
• Jumping in wherever the team needs you—teamwork is key

Requirements

• Availability nights and weekends (required)
• Strong work ethic and ability to juggle multiple tasks in a fast-paced kitchen
• Ability to follow recipes and prep instructions
• Positive attitude and team-first mindset
• BBQ experience is a plus but not required (training provided)
• Must be able to lift up to 30 lbs regularly (occasionally up to 80 lbs)
• Ability to obtain a Food Handler's Permit where required

Skills & Qualifications

• Capable of reading kitchen prep books and manuals to prepare food recipes
• Ability to handle multiple tasks at once
• Proficient use of restaurant equipment (convection ovens, grills, fryers, smokers, steam tables, microwaves, etc.)
• Six months of previous job-related experience (as determined by management)

Physical & Mental Requirements

• Most work performed from a standing position for long periods
• Frequent walking, pushing, pulling, lifting, cutting, carrying, kneeling, or stooping
• Occasional lifting up to 80 pounds (typically up to 30 pounds)

Benefits

• Be part of a fun, fast-growing team that takes pride in great BBQ and service
• Learn real cooking skills—smokers, grills, fryers, and more
• Work in an environment where teamwork is how we operate
