About the Job:
Denny's is hiring Short Order Cooks for our Colonial Heights restaurant. As a short order cook, line cook, grill cook, or breakfast cook, you'll be the one making sure plates hit the table hot, fresh, and on time.

What You'll Do:
  • Cook entire meals simultaneously, coordinating multiple items for each order
  • Manage multiple tickets at a time with strong attention to timing and accuracy
  • Prepare and cook menu items including breakfast, lunch, and dinner entrées
  • Operate grills, fryers, and kitchen equipment safely and efficiently
  • Follow food safety, sanitation, and portion control standards
  • Collaborate with servers and kitchen staff to deliver excellent guest experiences
  • Keep your station clean, organized, and ready for the next rush

What We're Looking For:
  • Previous experience as a short order cook, line cook, grill cook, or restaurant cook strongly preferred
  • Ability to multitask and manage full meal prep across multiple tickets
  • Knowledge of food preparation, kitchen operations, and cooking techniques
  • Team player with solid communication skills
  • Flexible schedule availability (weekends, holidays, nights)

What We Offer:
  • Competitive hourly pay
  • Flexible scheduling (full-time and part-time available)
  • Benefits for full time employees
  • Career growth opportunities in the restaurant and hospitality industry
  • Employee meal discounts
  • Supportive team environment
