Cook / Kitchen Staff – Char Chick
Char Chick – Thai-Inspired Chicken
Chicago, IL
Char Chick is looking for a reliable Cook / Kitchen Staff member who is comfortable working independently and can manage a small, easy-to-follow kitchen operation.
Our menu is simple and organized, and most orders are takeout and delivery, so this is not a high-pressure full-service restaurant environment. You will mainly prepare orders, cook according to our recipes, pack the food, bag completed orders, and place them in the pickup area for customers or delivery drivers.
Responsibilities
- Prepare and cook Char Chick menu items according to our recipes and standards
- Handle incoming dine-in, takeout, and delivery orders
- Portion and assemble bowls, chicken dishes, sides, and other menu items
- Pack orders accurately and neatly
- Bag completed orders and place them in the designated pickup area
- Occasionally hand orders directly to customers
- Keep the kitchen, prep area, and work station clean and organized
- Restock ingredients and packaging as needed during the shift
- Follow food safety and sanitation procedures
- Be able to manage the kitchen independently during your shift
What We're Looking For
- Able to work independently without constant supervision
- Reliable, responsible, and organized
- Able to follow recipes, portion sizes, and kitchen procedures consistently
- Comfortable communicating in basic conversational English
- Restaurant or kitchen experience is preferred, especially experience working in an American restaurant environment
- Experience with takeout, delivery, fast-casual, or quick-service restaurants is a plus
- No experience? That's okay. If you are willing to learn, dependable, and have a good attitude, we can train you.
- Able to work efficiently while keeping the kitchen clean and organized
- Comfortable working on your feet and handling normal kitchen duties
