They typically work 35-40 hours or more per week and are responsible for following recipes, maintaining food safety standards, and ensuring meals are prepared efficiently and tastefully. Full time cooks may also handle tasks such as cleaning their workstations, managing inventory, and collaborating with kitchen staff to deliver a smooth dining experience.
