Line Cook
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
- Use - for lists,
for prose
- Do NOT repeat job title as heading (the page already shows it)
- Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings
- Preserve ALL substantive information
- Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions)
- Include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it
- Never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them
- Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones
- Output ONLY HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Now, let's map the content to appropriate sections:
1. Pay: The posting has "Compensation Range $17.50 - $23.00 / Hour" - this is specific pay info, so include a Pay section.
2. Overview: The "Overview" paragraph describes the role and company. Could be "About the role" or similar. The heading "Overview" is not in the suggested list, but "About the role" is. I'll use "About the role" as h3.
3. Why Join our Team: This contains benefits, perks, scheduling, etc. This maps to Benefits and maybe Schedule. The posting has "Steady Hours, Flexible Life" with scheduling info, "Benefits That Have Your Back" with medical, dental, etc., "Grow With Us" with training/advancement, "Perks, Recognition & Community" with discounts, etc. So I should create a Benefits section that includes all these. Also maybe a Schedule section for the flexible scheduling info. But the rule says only create Schedule if posting actually states them. It does state "Flexible scheduling with full-time or part-time opportunities". So I could include a Schedule section. However, the rule says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. I could combine scheduling into Benefits or have separate. I think Benefits section can include all the "Why Join our Team" content. But the suggested headings include Benefits and Schedule separately. I'll create a Benefits section that includes all the perks, benefits, growth, etc. And maybe a Schedule section for the scheduling details. But the scheduling details are part of "Why Join our Team". I'll include a Schedule section with the scheduling info.
4. What You'll Do: Responsibilities. Use "Responsibilities" heading.
5. Your Background: Requirements/Qualifications. Use "Requirements" heading.
6. Who We Are: Company description. Could be "About the company" but not in suggested list. The suggested headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Who We Are" is not listed. I could include it as "About the role" or maybe not include as a separate section? The rule says include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The "Who We Are" is company description, which is substantive. But the suggested headings don't include "About the company". However, the user said "e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule" - these are examples, not exhaustive. But they said "use
for section headings (e.g. ...)". So I can use other headings if appropriate. But to be safe, I'll use "About the role" for the overview and maybe "About the company" for Who We Are? But the rule says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is not given, but the posting is for Line Cook. The page already shows it. So I shouldn't include "Line Cook" as heading. The "Overview" is about the role. "Who We Are" is about the company. I think I'll include "About the role" for the overview paragraph, and maybe "About the company" for Who We Are. But the user didn't list "About the company". However, they said "e.g." meaning examples. I think it's okay to include a heading for company description. But the rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine overview and company description into one "About the role" section? But they are distinct. I'll include both as separate sections with appropriate headings.
Let's decide on sections:
- Pay: compensation range
- About the role: overview paragraph
- Benefits: all the "Why Join our Team" content (including scheduling, benefits, growth, perks)
- Responsibilities: "What You'll Do"
- Requirements: "Your Background"
- About the company: "Who We Are" (but maybe not needed? The posting includes it, it's substantive. I'll include it as "About the company" or "Company overview". But the user didn't specify that heading. However, they said "use for section headings (e.g. ...)" - not limited to those. I'll use "About the company" as h3.
But note: the rule says "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". The job title is likely "Line Cook". The page already shows it. So we don't need a heading for the job title.
Now, I need to remove boilerplate: The last paragraph includes EEO statement, reasonable accommodations, contact for non-compliant job posting. That's boilerplate. Remove it.
Also, the "Who We Are" includes "We are an equal opportunity employer..." that's EEO boilerplate. Remove that part. Keep the substantive company description.

I should not include the EEO statement, reasonable accommodations, or the contact email for non-compliant posting.
Now, check if any section has filler/placeholder text. No.
Check if Pay section is included: yes, specific compensation range.
Schedule: The posting mentions flexible scheduling. I included it in Benefits as a bullet. Could also create a separate Schedule section. But the rule says never create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It does state "Flexible scheduling with full-time or part-time opportunities". That's a schedule detail. However, the rule also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So including scheduling in Benefits is fine. I'll keep it there.

But the rule says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is not given, but the posting is for Line Cook. The page already shows it. So I shouldn't include "Line Cook" as heading. The "Overview" is about the role. "Who We Are" is about the company. I think I'll include "About the role" for the overview paragraph, and maybe "About the company" for Who We Are. But the user didn't list "About the company". However, they said "e.g." meaning examples. I think it's okay to include a heading for company description.
