Seeking a line cook with Sous Chef potential.
Book Club Bistro is a 4.9 star dining establishment with high standards we don’t just talk about, we live the high standards every day
Our Mission is to deliver an experience that leaves each guest raving about the flavor, presentation and hospitality.
Our core Values are as follows:
Teamwork-no one does this job alone. Servers have to have the kitchen in order to serve/sell anything. Need bartenders to make the drinks. Kitchen and bartenders have to have servers to sell what you’re making. There are no titles in our kitchen, everyone does all the things: dishes, mopping, prep, line, recipe development, everything.
Integrity-this goes to character. Are you making/serving what you say you are? Have you cut corners? Are you doing YOUR best? Are you taking responsibility for solving your own problems or blaming others? Are you using your time wisely and getting tasks completed as quickly as possible? People come in not only for the great food and drinks, but because they trust us. Admitting mistakes to each other and/or to our guests is a way to increase trust and thereby Integrity.
Consistency- we are delivering the same high-quality experience and food to every single guest, every single visit. This means tasting all the food. It means delivering clean plates to the window and requires servers to be picky at the window before plates are taken. This means nobody comes into the restaurant where there is a table that hasn’t been wiped down. Everyone gets the same experience no matter who is on the floor or in the kitchen.
We are high-performers, doing amazing things with very little space.
We are developers of people-the sky is the limit.
