Job description

We saved the Line Cook spot at JLL for someone who treats Reservation Management like a question worth asking again every Chula Vista, CA morning. The proposition holds together — $84,000 - $121,000, 3 years, a CA base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.

Key Responsibilities

• Write the Toast POS runbook the next hire wishes they had
• Spot the Chula Vista pattern in feedback before it becomes a complaint
• Hold the line on quality when deadlines start whispering shortcuts
• Coordinate scheduling, resources, and logistics for assigned tasks
• Onboard, mentor, and guide newer team members when called upon
• Surface risks early, loudly, and with a proposed fix attached
• Hold Chula Vista vendors to the standard we promised our users
• Question the brief when the brief doesn't match reality

What You'll Bring

• Mid-level-caliber judgment about when to escape and when to absorb
• Proven Critical Thinking judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
• Practical Line Cooking skills sharpened in a hybrid setting
• A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
• Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
• Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
• A deeply-curious attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
