Job description

Join Our Team as a Retherm Kitchen Cook at Doghouse Murder Mystery Dinner Theater!

Looking for a unique kitchen role in a fun and lively environment? Doghouse Murder Mystery Dinner Theater in Atlanta, GA, is on the hunt for a dependable and organized Retherm Kitchen Cook to join our team. If you’re passionate about food prep, enjoy a streamlined kitchen setup, and thrive in a collaborative atmosphere, this might just be the perfect fit for you!

What You’ll Do

As a Retherm Kitchen Cook, you’ll play a vital role in creating a seamless dining experience for our guests during our live dinner performances. This isn’t your typical scratch-cooking position – our meals are prepared in advance and reheated, portioned, and plated for service. Here’s what your responsibilities will look like:

• Prep and Portioning: Prepare and portion food before service begins.
• Reheating and Plating: Reheat and properly hold meals, then plate appetizers, entrées, and desserts with precision.
• Timing Coordination: Work closely with our team to coordinate meal timing with our three-act performances.
• Food Safety: Monitor food temperatures and follow all food safety procedures.
• Kitchen Maintenance: Wash dishes, cookware, and utensils; clean and sanitize prep areas and equipment; and handle sweeping, mopping, and trash removal.
• Team Support: Assist with food running and other kitchen needs to keep things running smoothly.

What We’re Looking For

We’re searching for someone with a passion for food and an eye for detail. Here’s what will make you a great fit for this role:

• At least 1 year of experience in a restaurant, catering, banquet, or kitchen setting.
• Basic knowledge of food safety and sanitation (ServSafe Certification preferred – and we’ll pay for training if needed!).
• Dependable, punctual, and comfortable working as part of a team.
• Ability to stay organized and work efficiently in a fast-paced environment.
• Physically able to stand for extended periods and lift/carry typical kitchen supplies and food pans.

Why Join Doghouse Murder Mystery?

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys kitchen work but prefers a streamlined prep, retherm, plate, and service environment instead of a traditional line-cook position. Plus, you’ll get to be part of a unique dinner theater experience, where your work directly contributes to the enjoyment of our guests.

Schedule

This position primarily involves evenings and weekends, based on our performance schedule. It’s perfect for those who enjoy a dynamic work environment with a bit of excitement!
