• Pizza mastery: stretch and launch dough, sauce/cheese with consistency, top to spec, bake to perfect color/char, and finish clean.
• Line execution: cook wings, fries, pastas, and apps to spec; plate and garnish like it matters—because it does.
• Quality control: verify temps, watch ticket times, and coordinate pacing with expo and FOH.
• Speed + accuracy: hit ticket times without sacrificing standards; call and answer tickets clearly.
• Clean as you go: sanitizer ppm on point, label/date FIFO, safe holds/cool-downs, and end-of-shift deep clean.
• Team play: help neighbors on the line, and keep communication crisp under pressure.
• Protect the brand: every plate should look like the photo—consistent, hot, and craveable.

What you bring

• 1+ year in a busy kitchen (pizza/stone-deck experience is a plus—but we’ll train the right hustle).
