If a Pantry/Prep Cook, you are responsible for all cold food items prepared in the kitchen, such as salads, cold appetizers, desserts, sandwiches, salad dressings, etc., so you have a major contribution to every meal. And, if the Breakfast Cook, you help our guests start their day with a hot meal and a smile - an important job.
• Be a Team Player - The Cooks are responsible for the timely and accurate preparation of food items for all outlets and for maintaining a level of professionalism in the kitchen, working in harmony as a team so that the guest gets the food they ordered in a timely manner and leave happy.
• Be an Everything Clean and Organized Fanatic - Professional Cooks know how to keep a work area clean and organized, following all sanitation and safe food handling procedures at every step.
