We’re looking for a Line/Prep Cook who shows up on time, works hard, and takes pride in every plate that leaves the kitchen. This ain't a place for excuses, drama, or standing around looking at your phone. This is a family operation, and everybody pulls their weight.

If you’ve got hustle, respect, and a strong work ethic, we got a spot for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Prepping vegetables, sauces, proteins, and ingredients to our standards.
• Making sure every dish is consistent, fresh, and cooked correctly.
• Keeping your station clean, organized, and ready for service.
• Following recipes and portion standards exactly.
• Working with urgency during busy lunch and dinner rushes.
• Rotating stock and properly storing food.
• Maintaining food safety and sanitation standards.
• Helping your teammates when the kitchen gets slammed.

What We Expect

• Show up on time. If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late.
• Take pride in your work.
• Move with purpose and urgency.
• Respect your coworkers and management.
• Keep your station clean. A messy station is a messy cook.
• Be coachable and willing to learn.
• Handle pressure without falling apart.
• Bring a positive attitude every day.

Experience

• Previous kitchen, prep cook, line cook, pizza, or restaurant experience preferred.
• Ability to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 pounds.

• Growth opportunities.
• A kitchen that feels like family.
• Free shift meal.

A Message From The Boss

"Here’s the deal. We can teach you how to cook. We can’t teach you heart. We can’t teach you hustle. If you’re the kind of person who works hard, respects the team, and takes pride in doing things the right way, you’ll do just fine here. If you’re looking for shortcuts, keep walking."
