What is a submarine cook?

A Submarine Cook is responsible for preparing meals for the crew aboard a submarine, ensuring they receive nutritious and balanced food during deployments. They work in compact galley spaces, planning menus, managing food supplies, and maintaining cleanliness aboard the vessel. Cooks must be adaptable, efficient, and able to work under pressure, as submarines operate in isolated and confined environments. This role is essential for maintaining crew morale and operational effectiveness on long missions.

What is it like to work as a cook on a submarine, and what challenges can I expect?

Working as a cook on a submarine is a unique and demanding experience, requiring you to prepare high-quality meals in a compact, moving environment with limited storage and access to fresh supplies. You will typically work in shifts to ensure that crew members have access to hot meals around the clock, often collaborating closely with a small, tight-knit culinary team.

Many cooks find the teamwork, camaraderie, and skill development in this environment to be excellent preparation for advancement within the culinary or wider military careers.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a submarine cook, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Submarine Cook, you need knowledge of food preparation and nutrition, safe food handling certification, and the ability to follow military or organizational protocols. Familiarity with galley equipment, inventory management systems, and food storage regulations—often including specialized training from military culinary schools—is required. Strong teamwork, adaptability, and attention to detail are crucial soft skills in this confined, mission-focused environment. These abilities ensure meals are nutritious, safe, and morale-boosting for the crew, even under unique and challenging conditions.

About Jersey Mike's

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

It started back in 1956, in this actual storefront location and was originally called Mike's Subs. Mike opened the small shop in the sea-side town of Point Pleasant, New Jersey. You have to remember that in 1956, there were very few franchise restaurants or hamburger chains. No chain pizza, chicken or taco restaurants, either. In 1956, proprietors of mom-and-pop businesses would open their stores in basic storefront locations like you see here. To survive and thrive, they had to offer exceptional quality products, coupled with unparalleled service. In 1956, Mike was unique in that the product he was offering was a relatively new item in American society – the submarine sandwich. ​ Today, the authentic taste – served Mike's Way® with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, oil, vinegar and spices – is available nationwide. Our secret? Everything about Jersey Mike’s is high quality. Our meats and cheeses are all top-quality premium brands. Our bread is fresh-baked each day on the premises. And of course, everything’s prepared right in front of you. It’s what makes Jersey Mike’s the most authentic tasting submarine sandwich available, and it’s a tradition of quality we’ll never outgrow.
