Responsibilities

• Prepare food according to recipes, use records, and presentation specifications — measuring, mixing, plating, and portioning with consistency and precision every single time.

• Stock and maintain sufficient levels of food products at your station before and throughout service.
• Label, date, and rotate all stored food properly, and perform thorough closing procedures — cleaning, sanitizing, and organizing the kitchen, walk-in coolers, and all storage areas so the next shift starts strong.
• Communicate and coordinate production with fellow cooks, wait staff, and the broader food and beverage team.
• Bring focus, composure, and positive energy to every shift.
• Operate and adjust all kitchen equipment — ovens, broilers, grills, roasters, kettles, and more — safely and confidently, and develop familiarity with all equipment in the kitchen.
• Adhere to all food handling guidelines, sanitation standards, and kitchen policies and procedures at all times.
