Bells Lane Kitchen is a food hall located in Purdy's Wharf Tower on the Halifax waterfront. We feed the downtown crowd from 7:00 AM: breakfast, a lunch menu, grab-and-go, and catering. The kitchen runs Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM. No nights. No weekends.

We are hiring a Chef and Line Cook to work 5 days a week for this location and the ability to work certain weekends for events. We are looking for kitchen leaders willing to own their role and take on responsibilities of prep, line, catering, managing food costs and designing menus.

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
Preparing catering orders from our menu
