What is an on call cook?

On call cooks are culinary professionals who are not scheduled for regular shifts but are available to work as needed, often on short notice. They fill in for absent staff, help during busy periods, or work special events. On call cooks must be flexible, skilled in various cooking techniques, and able to adapt quickly to different kitchen environments.
