With pizza mastery, wing and pasta cooking to spec, you’ll plate and garnish to look like the photo, while prioritizing food safety, teamwork, and brand consistency under pressure in a lively, beer-forward environment.

• 1+ year in a busy kitchen (pizza/stone-deck experience is a plus—but we’ll train the right hustle).
• Knife skills, station organization, and pride in clean, repeatable work.
• Calm under heat; you speed up and get sharper when the board stacks.
• Respect for food safety (temps, allergen awareness, cross-contact prevention).
• Alignment with ROCKIN values: Respectful, Optimistic, Collaborative, Knowledgeable, Impactful, Never Settling.

Responsibilities

• Own your station: open, stock, and maintain par levels; communicate 86s and low counts early.
• Pizza mastery: stretch and launch dough, sauce/cheese with consistency, top to spec, bake to perfect color/char.
• Line execution: cook wings, fries, pastas, and apps to spec; plate and garnish like it matters.
• Quality control: verify temps, watch ticket times, 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, 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.
