Pasta Lupino – Whistler, BC

Pasta Lupino has been one of Whistler's best-kept secrets since 2000. Locally owned, not a chain. We make everything fresh every day, handmade pasta, housemade sauces, the lot. We're a tight team and we hire people, not just resumes.

We're growing, a second production kitchen at Function Junction is opening and there's room for good people to grow with us.

We're looking for someone who genuinely loves cooking and wants to grow in a kitchen, not just someone looking for another shift job. This role is a mix of morning prep shifts and AM/PM line shifts, giving you the chance to develop skills across the whole kitchen, from production to service. If you enjoy fast-paced kitchens, learning new techniques, and being part of a supportive team, you'll fit right in.

Two locations — the Village, Function Junction, or both

We're hiring for both our Village restaurant and our new Caffè Lupino production kitchen at Function Junction. If you join us at the Village, you'll also help support Function Junction while we get it up and running. Prefer to be based solely at Function Junction? That's available too, just let us know what suits you best.
