  • Wash, chop, slice, and dice vegetables and other ingredients.
  • Measure and mix ingredients for salads, sides, sauces, entrées, and other prepared foods.
  • Perform cooking and preparation tasks such as reducing sauces, parboiling ingredients, assembling dishes, and portioning finished products.
  • Monitor food quality, freshness, portioning, appearance, and consistency.
  • Ensure prepared items are packaged, dated, labeled, rotated, and stored correctly.
  • Maintain accurate production records and communicate product or supply needs to department management.
  • Follow all recipes, nutritional guidelines, food-handling procedures, and sanitation standards.
  • Keep workstations, equipment, floors, and storage areas clean, organized, and safe.
  • Complete end-of-shift production checks and prepare the department for the incoming morning team.
  • Communicate production updates, shortages, or concerns to the Kitchen Manager.
  • Assist with additional kitchen and department responsibilities as needed.

Who We’re Looking For
  • Must be at least 18 years old.
  • Minimum of one year of experience in a high-volume, fast-paced kitchen; two or more years is preferred.
  • Previous lead, training, or supervisory experience in a kitchen, restaurant, grocery, catering, or food-production environment is preferred.
  • Working knowledge of kitchen health, sanitation, and food-safety standards.
  • Confidence using commercial kitchen tools, utensils, and equipment.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to assign responsibilities, manage priorities, and keep production on schedule.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to food quality and presentation.
  • Ability to work independently and make sound decisions during overnight hours.
  • Dependable, positive, and willing to lead by example.
  • Must be available to consistently work the overnight shift from 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM.
