- Cleaning & Sanitation: Maintain your station and shared kitchen areas to health code standards; deep clean as assigned

- Training & Mentoring: Support dishwashers and newer team members; model best practices

- Flexibility: Adapt to menu changes, cover stations as needed,



and support the team during high-volume service

- Documentation: Track covers, timing, and any issues during service for team debrief

- Experience working in a brigade system under a head chef or sous chef

Essential Qualities:

- Reliability: You show up on time, every time. Consistency is non-negotiable.

- Teamwork: You communicate clearly, support your teammates, and prioritize the collective success of service

- Attitude: You take pride in your work, stay calm under pressure, and approach feedback as an opportunity to improve

- Precision: You care about the details—temperature, plating, timing, taste

- Stamina: You can handle the physical and mental demands of a busy service

Nice-to-Have:

- Experience with French cuisine or classical technique

- Knowledge of wine pairings or food cost management

- Willingness to mentor newer team members

Schedule

- Year-round position (full-time or part-time)
