Job Summary:
Join our team as a Floater: Cook/Front Counter, a versatile role at the heart of our fast-paced, plant-based quick service restaurant. You'll move fluidly between the kitchen and the front counter as business needs demand — preparing and cooking high-quality plant-based dishes one moment, then greeting guests and running the register the next.
This role is ideal for someone energetic, adaptable, and equally comfortable behind the grill and in front of a customer. Your versatility will help keep both the kitchen and the counter running smoothly, no matter where you're needed most. Availability on Friday and Saturday nights required.

* Process transactions, handle cash and card payments, and perform cashiering duties with precision

* Maintain cleanliness of the front counter and dining area through bussing and sanitation practices
Requirements
* Availability on Friday and Saturday nights required.* As needed: Sundays and coverage for other shifts
* Previous experience in quick service restaurants, or a fast-paced kitchen preferred; experience in both front-of-house and back-of-house is a strong plus
* Strong skills and proficiency in basic cooking methods such as grilling and frying
* Strong customer service skills with a friendly, energetic attitude
* Familiarity with Square POS systems is highly desirable
* Solid knowledge of food safety protocols, sanitation standards, and proper food handling procedures
