Job description

What You'll Do

Run your station through the rush: cook to spec, plate with pride, and send out food that earns its reputation one ticket at a time. You'll follow recipes and procedures exactly, keep your station clean and stocked as you go, and communicate with the line like a teammate, because none of us succeeds without all of us.

Who You Are

You're steady when the tickets stack up and you never send out a plate you wouldn't eat yourself. Line experience helps but isn't required. We'll teach you the JNN way.

What We Give You

• Competitive pay and flexible schedules
• Discounted meals (you'll be eating well)
• Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), employer-paid life insurance, and vacation for eligible team members
• Life Assistance Program and Bar-B-Q Family Fund, because we take care of our own
• Real advancement, from the line to pitmaster to kitchen manager and beyond

Our Values

Be Honest. Be Respectful. Be Committed. Be Disciplined. Be Supportive.

The Physical Stuff

This role is hands-on and high-energy. You'll be on your feet 8+ hours a day standing and walking for extended periods while lifting up to 50 lbs in a live kitchen and stockroom areas. Bending, reaching, climbing, and equipment operation are all part of the craft. These requirements reflect the essential functions of the role and may be performed with or without reasonable accommodation.

Jim 'N Nick's Community Bar-B-Q is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We consider applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, military or veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law.
