Job Title: Lead Line Cook / Kitchen Lead
The Role: We are looking for a highly skilled, disciplined, and motivated Lead Line Cook to join our culinary team. This is a "player-coach" position designed for a seasoned professional who excels on the line but also possesses the leadership maturity to oversee daily operations and maintain our high standards of execution.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Service Leadership: Lead the line during peak hours, ensuring timing, plating, and quality standards are met across all stations.
-
Operational Oversight: Assist in managing daily prep lists, inventory rotation (FIFO), and ordering to ensure zero-waste efficiency.
-
Quality Control: Act as the final eyes on dishes before they leave the kitchen in the Executive Chef’s absence.
-
Mentorship: Train junior line and prep cooks on technique, station organization, and safety protocols.
-
Administrative Support: Assist with temperature logs, health code compliance, and closing checklists to ensure the kitchen is "inspection-ready" at all times.
What We’re Looking For:
-
Experience: 4+ years in high-volume, scratch kitchens, with at least 1 year in a supervisory or "senior" capacity.
-
Technical Mastery: Advanced knife skills and expert-level knowledge of various cooking techniques (sauté, grill, garde manger).
-
Temperament: A calm-under-pressure professional who leads by example rather than volume.
-
Availability: Flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
We offer competitive pay, a professional environment focused on culinary growth, and the opportunity to have a direct impact on the kitchen's success.
Compensation: $20.00 - $27.00 per hour
