About the role

We’re a full-service restaurant collection with locations from coast to coast, known for serving nutrient-dense, thoughtfully crafted dishes for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. We’re looking for an experienced full-service Line Cook who knows how to work a busy restaurant line and execute during high-volume service. You’ll prep, cook, and plate dishes to order across stations such as Pantry, Pastry, Pizza, Wok, Sauté, or Grill. Previous full-service, made-to-order line experience is important for success in this role, and experience working multiple stations is a big plus. And a restaurant-industry perk worth calling out: we close at 9 PM five nights a week —no late-night closes!

Responsibilities

  • Execute made-to-order dishes during busy lunch and dinner service
  • Prepare starters, entrées, pizzas, and more across assigned line stations
  • Follow recipes, portions, ticket timing, and quality standards
  • Maintain consistency and presentation during high-volume service
  • Keep your station clean, stocked, organized, and ready for service
  • Assist with prep and opening/closing responsibilities
  • Operate ovens, stoves, grills, fryers, and other kitchen equipment
  • Prepare ingredients by portioning, chopping, weighing, measuring, and mixing
  • Clean and sanitize work areas, tools, knives, and equipment

Requirements

  • 6+ months of full-service restaurant line experience preferred
  • Experience executing made-to-order food during active service
  • Comfortable working a station and keeping pace with ticket volume
  • Experience on multiple stations such as Grill, Sauté, Wok, Pizza, or Pantry is a plus
  • Strong knife skills and ability to consistently execute recipes
  • Passion for great food and quality presentation
  • Teamwork, speed, communication, and organization under pressure
  • Flexibility for nights, weekends, and holidays
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds, stand for extended periods, and continuously bend, reach, and twist

Schedule

  • No late nights—we close at 9 PM most nights
  • AM, PM, and mid-day shifts available
  • Part-time schedules up to 40 hours available

Benefits

  • A professional, successful work environment with opportunities for growth and a development program designed to help you reach the next step in your career
  • Part-time team members have access to affordable, quality health care through Hooray Health and telehealth options
  • Pet insurance for your fur babies
  • Access to expert guidance through EAP/SupportLinc to help you and your family address everyday challenges
  • Restaurant dining discount
  • Paid volunteer time to support your community and favorite charities
  • Eligibility to give to and receive from the True Giving Fund, which supports team members through life-changing events
