• Execute food tickets with speed, accuracy, and flavor
• Follow food safety & cleanliness standards like a pro
• Communicate with your team to keep flow smooth and orders flying
• Help with restocking, setup, and cleaning/closing

Pay & Perks:

• $10–$15/hr base pay + tips
• Full tip pool shared with the whole team (yep, BOH too)
• Discounted, food, drinks & desserts
• Real teamwork, zero drama, and steady hours, flexible scheduling

✅ What We’re Looking For:

• Solid work ethic and a sense of urgency
• Ability to learn and rotate through all kitchen tasks
• Stays calm under pressure, communicates clearly
• Willing to clean as you go, help your team, and hustle when it’s go-time
• Previous kitchen experience preferred, but we’ll train the right person

Shifts Available:

• Mornings: 6:00 AM – 3:00 PM
• Weekend availability is required

Skills & Attributes:

• Can multitask while staying focused and clean

• Strong communicator — speaks up, listens, and works well in a team
• Keeps calm under pressure and doesn’t crack when it gets busy
• Hustles hard without sacrificing quality
• Willing to learn and rotate across prep, cook, and plating stations

Bonus Points (Preferred but not required):

• Prior experience in a restaurant kitchen, fast-casual, or food truck
• Knowledge of fryers, griddles, ovens, and food safety procedures
• Can handle a sharp knife and a hot ticket line without flinching
• Familiarity with online order platforms (DoorDash, Toast, etc.)
