About Jack’s

Jack’s is the flagship of Jack’s Brand Restaurant Group, a family-owned hospitality company that has been part of Northeast Georgia since 2007. We are a classic American neighborhood bar done right: a scratch kitchen, a full bar, and a warm, unpretentious room where regulars feel like family. We hold a high standard, we take care of our people, and we run a tight, professional operation. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we’d like to meet you.

The Role

We’re looking for a line cook who takes pride in cooking food the right way, every single time. You’ll own a station, execute our menu to spec, and help put out consistent, scratch-made plates in a fast, well-run kitchen. If you have a strong work ethic and care about quality, you’ll fit right in.

• Set up, run, and break down your assigned station efficiently and cleanly
• Prepare and cook menu items to recipe and presentation specs, consistently and on time
• Handle prep work, portioning, and stocking to keep the line ready for service
• Maintain strict food safety, sanitation, and cleanliness standards
• Communicate clearly with the kitchen team and expediter during service
• Manage product properly to control waste and protect food cost
• Stay composed and dialed in during high-volume rushes

What We’re Looking For

• 1+ year of line cook experience in a full-service or scratch kitchen preferred
• Solid knife skills and a working knowledge of cooking techniques
• ServSafe certification a plus (or willingness to obtain on hire)
• A team player with a strong work ethic and a sense of urgency
• Reliable, punctual, and available to work nights, weekends, and holidays as needed

Physical Requirements

• Able to stand and move for shifts of 8+ hours in a hot kitchen environment
• Able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs
• Comfortable with repetitive motion, heat, and a fast pace

Compensation

$15 - $19 per hour, based on experience.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay (see range above)
• 401K matching opportunities
• Shift meals
• Flexible scheduling and consistent hours
• A clear path to grow — we promote from within across five restaurants
• A supportive, professionally run team that backs you up on the floor and in the kitchen
