Description

At Rocket Farm Restaurants, the core philosophy that defines our culture is “We serve the person who is serving the guest.” Our culture is not something we act out on the floor of the restaurant. It starts with how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen – with dignity, respect, and care. We believe there should be no difference in how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen and how we treat and serve our guests in the dining room. We hope you agree and will consider joining us!

La Lucha offers a high-energy, funky dining experience alongside Star Rover, with a unique and indulgent menu inspired by chef Ford Fry’s childhood memories of over-the-top dining at the San Jacinto Inn. Together, the two concepts bring bold food, great drinks, and plenty of Texas personality under one roof.

La Lucha and Star Rover are seeking a hard-working Cook to join our dynamic culinary team!

High energy and passion to serve the Houston Heights community are the keys to success for a La Lucha Cook. The Cook is responsible for following recipes and standards and using precise culinary techniques to produce high-quality food, ensuring exceptional guest experiences every time. He/she must be able to manage his/her station while communicating successfully with the rest of the team and expediting food items on the back line in an efficient and timely manner. The ideal candidate is a quick learner that exhibits proactive thinking and problem-solving skills to resolve any issues that may arise. Apply today and become part of a dynamic, innovative, and heartfelt group of unique individuals!

Competitive pay - $16 to $24/hr. - based on experience and ability.
