• Comprehensive benefits. Access to a comprehensive benefits program for qualifying team members, subject to eligibility based on average hours worked.
• Dining perks. Complimentary meals during assigned management shifts, 50% off meals when working front‑of‑house (FOH) or HOH shifts, and a 10% employee and family dining discount when off duty.

• Find the rhythm of service. Support the line during busy periods, communicate clearly and help keep orders moving with accuracy and care.
• Put pride on every plate. Help the team deliver consistent recipes, portions, presentation and food quality.
• Keep the kitchen and floor connected. Work with front‑of‑house leaders and expo to coordinate timing, communicate special requests and resolve service concerns.
• Teach what you know. Coach in the moment, share good habits and help teammates build confidence. Everyone contributes to training and development, with formal performance management handled by the Kitchen Manager and General Manager.

• Make every ingredient count. Support proper storage, stock rotation, portioning and waste reduction.
• Open strong and close well. Take on opening and closing responsibilities based on availability, training and qualifications, including assigned cash reconciliation and end‑of‑shift reporting.
• Make safety a daily habit. Uphold food handling, sanitation, cleanliness and workplace safety standards.
• Take ownership. Address food quality and kitchen service concerns promptly, involving management when further support is needed.

Bring your appetite to learn

You care about the details, take ownership of your work and understand that a strong kitchen runs on teamwork. You’re dependable, approachable and ready to help others succeed.

Restaurant or kitchen experience is preferred, but your leadership attributes, attitude and willingness to learn matter most. Candidates with strong leadership potential from other industries are welcome.
