- Communicate clearly and support other team members
Requirements
- At least one year of professional line-cook experience
- Availability for full-time shifts across a seven-day operation, including weekends
- Valid Alberta ProServe certification
- Valid food-safety certification
- Ability to work independently and make sound decisions
