Frankie's Italian is a made-from-scratch Italian kitchen with hand-stretched pizzas, one block from Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain and steps from BC Place and Rogers Arena. We're hiring a Butcher / Prep & Production Cook to own the protein and production side of our kitchen.

What You Earn

- $20 to $23 an hour (Plus a kitchen tip share of about $2 to $4 an hour)
- Free staff meal every shift
- Extended health & dental
- Dining discount at Tiara restaurants

At most meat counters you cut all day and never see a tip. Here you cut, cook and share the tips.

The Job

You break down and portion our proteins, make our fresh pasta, sauces and doughs, and set the line up for breakfast, lunch, dinner, room service and catering. When you walk out, the walk-in is full and the line is ready.

What You'll Do

- Trim and portion beef, pork, chicken and seafood to spec, and track yields and waste
- Make fresh pasta, sauces, stocks and doughs in batches
- Build prep to par for every service, and label, date and rotate everything
- Receive protein deliveries, check them against spec, and keep cold storage organized
- Keep knives, slicer and mixers clean, sharp and safe
- Follow FOODSAFE, allergen and WorkSafeBC standards

What You Bring

- 1+ year as a butcher, meat cutter or prep cook in a high-volume kitchen or meat department
- Robust knife skills: you know your cuts and your yields




- FOODSAFE Level 1 (required)
- Fresh pasta experience (an asset; we'll teach you)
- Meat cutting certificate or Red Seal progress (an asset)
- Organized, reliable, and you work clean
- Able to lift up to 50 lb and stand for a full shift
- Legally eligible to work in Canada

Where It Leads

You learn the butchery and production side of the kitchen first, then the line. Our ladder runs Cook 2, Cook 1, Sous Chef, with a raise at each sign-off, and we promote from within across Tiara Food & Beverage Concepts' restaurants in Vancouver, Chilliwack and Winnipeg. Schedules are posted two weeks ahead.
