Grill Cook – Sizzle Up Island Favorites with Aloha!
Pay: $14.00 – $16.00 per hour Location: Dacula, GA 30019 Job Type: Full-time / Part-time
Job Overview
Are you a master of the flat-top with a passion for great food and community? We are seeking a skilled, experienced Griddle/Grill Cook to join our L&L Hawaiian BBQ 'Ohana. From our iconic Loco Moco to perfectly seared Spam and eggs, you will be the heart of the kitchen, bringing the authentic flavors of the islands to our local guests.
Important Note: We are explicitly looking for individuals with prior professional kitchen cooking experience—preferably with direct experience operating a flat-top grill. Please note that all relevant employment history and culinary experience will be verified during the hiring process.Availability Requirements (Read Carefully)
To support our team and maintain our high standards of service, we have specific availability needs for this role:
- Opening & Closing Flexibility: You must be able to work both opening shifts (prep and setup) and closing shifts (breakdown and cleaning) as required.
- Weekend Availability: Reliability on Saturdays and Sundays is a core, non-negotiable requirement for this position.
- Primary Commitment: This role is best suited as your primary job. Consistent attendance is vital to our collective success, and the fast-paced demands of this position are generally not conducive to maintaining secondary employment.
What You’ll Do
- Master the Grill: Expertly prepare a variety of grilled menu items on a flat-top grill, strictly adhering to portion control, quality benchmarks, and presentation standards.
- Operational Excellence: Confidently lead the opening or closing procedures of the kitchen, ensuring full compliance with all company protocols and safety standards.
- Prep & Organization: Execute daily prep work efficiently to ensure the kitchen remains "service-ready" at all times.
- Speed & Quality: Ensure all dishes are prepared accurately and efficiently, maintaining high standards even during peak, high-volume hours.
- Station Cleanliness: Maintain a spotless, organized, and fully stocked grill station in strict compliance with food safety and sanitation guidelines.
- Team Collaboration: Work seamlessly with the kitchen team and expediters to deliver an exceptional and fluid dining experience for every guest.
What We’re Looking For
- Verified Experience: Proven, verifiable experience as a kitchen cook or line cook, with a strong preference for candidates who have worked extensively on a flat-top grill in high-volume environments.
- Reliability: A dedicated "team-first" mindset supported by a proven track record of excellent attendance and punctuality.
- Technical Culinary Skill: Strong foundational knowledge of professional grilling techniques, commercial kitchen tools, and standard food safety practices.
- Composure: The ability to stay focused, calm, and positive under pressure in a fast-paced kitchen environment.
- The Aloha Spirit: A genuine love for island-style cuisine and a desire to bring energy, warmth, and the Aloha spirit to our team and customers.
