About the Opportunity

If you love to cook but you're tired of late nights, inconsistent schedules, and missing out on life outside the kitchen, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for. At Touchmark, you'll prepare fresh, restaurant-quality meals as part of a professional culinary team committed to exceptional hospitality. We aren't a cafeteria, and we aren't a typical restaurant. We create thoughtful, seasonal menus (that change weekly!) using quality ingredients and take pride in every plate we serve. Best of all, you'll finish your shift by 7:30 p.m. and still have your evenings to enjoy.

• A culinary program you can be proud of. Prepare fresh, high-quality meals with an emphasis on presentation, consistency, and hospitality.
• Competitive pay without restaurant burnout. Earn a competitive wage while enjoying a predictable schedule and being home every evening.
• Outstanding benefits. Full-time team members enjoy medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, holiday pay, retirement savings opportunities, bonus programs, and more.
• Opportunities to grow. Receive ongoing training, mentorship, and education assistance to continue building your culinary career.
• A supportive kitchen culture. Work alongside talented teammates who value collaboration, professionalism, and great food.

What You'll Do

• Prepare, cook, and plate meals that meet Touchmark's Gold Standards for quality, presentation, and consistency.
• Deliver exceptional dinner service while maintaining efficient kitchen operations.
• Follow food safety, sanitation, and infection control standards.
• Assist with food preparation, inventory rotation, and kitchen organization.
• Work collaboratively with the culinary team to provide an outstanding dining experience.
• Build meaningful relationships with the residents you serve and experience the impact your work has every day.

This is more than a line cook position—it's an opportunity to create exceptional dining experiences while enjoying the work-life balance that's hard to find in the restaurant industry.
