The Corktown Cook is a growing meal prep and delivery company hiring two reliable, hardworking prep cooks to join our kitchen team.

This is a hands-on role involving ingredient preparation, cooking, portioning, and packaging meals. We’re looking for people who work quickly, follow directions carefully, and bring a positive attitude to a busy kitchen.

You must be comfortable maintaining a fast, steady pace while keeping your work accurate, organized, and consistent.

Schedule

- Sundays: 6:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
- Mondays: 6:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
- Possible additional Tuesday shift: 6:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

Consistent availability for both Sunday and Monday shifts is required. As the company grows, there may be opportunities for additional hours and a transition to full-time work.

What you’ll do

- Wash, peel, chop, and prepare ingredients efficiently, using safe knife techniques.
- Follow recipes, measurements, portion sizes, and production instructions accurately.
- Prepare and cook meals according to our weekly production schedule.
- Portion, label, and package meals and assemble customer orders with speed and care.
- Keep up with production targets and delivery deadlines.
- Follow food safety, storage, and sanitation procedures.
- Keep workstations, utensils, and equipment clean and organized throughout the shift.
- Communicate ingredient shortages and inventory needs.
- Assist with grocery and supply pickups when needed,



if you have access to a vehicle; mileage is compensated.

What we’re looking for

- Strong knife skills and confidence with chopping and ingredient preparation.
- Ability to work quickly and accurately in a fast-paced kitchen.
- Ability to follow recipes and instructions consistently.
- A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and strong teamwork.
- Reliability, punctuality, and good organization.
- Knowledge of safe food handling and kitchen sanitation.
- Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 25 lbs.

Helpful experience and qualifications

Experience in a large commercial kitchen, high-volume food production, catering, or a meal prep company would be especially practical, but is not required. Familiarity with commercial-grade stoves, ovens, fryers, and other kitchen equipment is also an asset.

Food handler certification, high-volume meal packaging experience, and access to a reliable vehicle are additional advantages.

What we offer

- $23 per hour.
- A consistent Sunday and Monday schedule.
- A friendly, team-focused kitchen.
- Opportunities to take on more responsibility and hours as the business grows.
- Potential to move from part-time to full-time work.
