Job description

Production Cook — High-Volume Prep for Events Serving Hundreds to Thousands

When a single event needs 800 plated entrees and another needs 1,200 boxed lunches — all for the same day — someone has to execute. Green Apple Catering & Events is hiring Production Cooks who can work at scale without sacrificing quality. This is batch cooking at a level most restaurant kitchens never reach, and it requires cooks who are fast, precise, and comfortable following standardized recipes across multiple production lines.

Batch Cooking at Scale With Zero Room for Error

As a Production Cook, you'll work in our commissary kitchen preparing large quantities of food for corporate lunches, galas, weddings, government contracts, and institutional orders. You'll follow established recipes and SOPs, maintain portion accuracy, and meet production deadlines that align with our delivery and event schedules. Speed matters here — but so does consistency, because every plate carries the Green Apple name.
