Job description

Line Cook: Scratch BBQ Kitchen

At Warehouse BBQ, our meat comes in raw and leaves our kitchen smoked low & slow. Briskets are trimmed by hand, ribs are peeled in-house, and pork and chicken are pulled fresh. We're looking for a line cook who can take that work across the finish line and get it to the guest the right way, every plate and every order.

We're a family-owned BBQ company that started in New York, moved to North Carolina in 2021, and has grown from a food truck to our Youngsville storefront to a new dine-in location in Wake Forest. We're growing, and we want cooks who want to grow with us.

What you'll do

• Run your station during service: slice brisket and turkey, plate meats and sides, work the fryer/flat top/charbroiler
• Build and pack orders accurately, because takeout has to look as good as dine-in
• Help with prep when needed: trimming, pulling, and chopping meats
• Work catering orders
• Keep your station clean, stocked, and up to food safety standards
• Pitch in where the team needs you, including dishes during rushes. We all do.

What we're looking for

• 1+ year of line cook experience
• Able to keep up during a rush without cutting corners
• Comfortable handling raw and cooked meats safely
• Solid knife skills and consistent portioning
• Reliable and a good communicator on the line
• Food Handler or ServSafe certification is a plus

What you get

• $15–$17/hour, based on experience
• Flexible scheduling
• Employee meal discount
• Owners who work in the kitchen alongside you
• Real room to grow as we open and staff our Wake Forest location, with lead cook and kitchen roles ahead

If you take pride in your station and want to cook for people who care about the food, we want to meet you.
