• Ability to lift up to 30 lbs., reach, bend, stoop, and stand for up to 8 hours
• A current food handler card (required)
• Comfortable communicating in the predominant language(s) of our guests
• Strong attention to detail, excellent time management, and a great team attitude

What You’ll Do:

• Prepare ingredients according to recipes and prep lists
• Maintain a clean and organized work area
• Follow all food safety and sanitation guidelines
• Support the line and kitchen team with daily prep and kitchen tasks

Why Join Amaro’s Table?

• Flexible schedules with both part-time and full-time positions available
• Closed on major holidays: 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day
• Healthcare, dental, and vision benefits for full-time employees (30+ hrs/week)
• Be part of a growing hospitality group with opportunities to grow your career
