Bells Lane Kitchen is a food at Purdy's Wharf on the Halifax waterfront. We feed the downtown crowd from 7:00 AM: breakfast, a lunch menu that changes daily, grab and go, and the boxed lunches and platters that go out to the offices around us every day. The kitchen runs Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM. No nights. No weekends.

We are hiring a Prep and Line Cook to work alongside Chef Rich. Full-time and part-time are both open, and we will build the schedule around the right person.

What the day looks like

- Morning prep for the day's menu and for catering orders: proteins, vegetables, sauces, salads and baked goods
- Line service through the lunch rush on the grill, flat top and cold station
- Building catering orders to spec and on time: boxed lunches, sandwich and wrap platters, cookies, and the occasional breakfast delivery
- Labelling, dating and rotating product, and keeping your station clean and inspection-ready through the shift
- Closing down the line so tomorrow's 7:00 AM start is smooth

Our line is Eat Local, Experience Global. The menu moves through cuisines week to week, so if you are bored of cooking the same six plates, this is not that. What we need from you





- 2 to 3 years cooking in a fast-paced kitchen. Volume and consistency matter here more than fine dining plating
- Reliable at 7:00 AM. This is the one thing we cannot train
- Clean knife work and a positive eye for portions and presentation
- Calm on the line when catering orders stack on top of lunch service, because some days they do
- Legally able to work in Canada

Nice to have

- Food Handler certificate. If you do not have one, we will get you certified
