Job description

NOLA Restaurant is looking for an experienced Line Cook who can execute at a high level in a fast-paced kitchen.

NOLA Restaurant is looking for someone who is confident on the line and understands kitchen operations. We are looking for someone who works with urgency, maintains high standards, communicates clearly, and helps solve problems rather than waiting for someone else to handle them.

We offer great benefits for an independent restaurant and there are job advancement opportunities for those who prove to be trustworthy and consistent in their work ethic and character.

What Leadership Looks Like at NOLA

If a station is falling behind, you help find the solution. If a product is running low, you communicate it before it becomes a problem. If a team member needs direction, you provide it. If something isn't meeting NOLA's standards, you address it.

The goal is to keep the kitchen organized, maintain our standards, and keep service moving.

Join the NOLA Team

At NOLA, we value team members who show up, take ownership, solve problems, accept feedback, maintain standards, and contribute without needing constant direction.
