Basil & Garlic Bistro, a small, established Italian restaurant in Scottsdale, is looking for an experienced, hands-on Kitchen Lead or Lead Line Cook.
This is not an executive chef or menu development position. We are looking for a dependable kitchen professional who can cook on the line, organize prep, maintain consistency and food safety, help train the kitchen team, and take ownership of day-to-day back-of-house execution.
What we offer:
- $23–$25 per hour, depending on experience
- Approximately 40 hours per week
- Predictable full-time schedule
- Established menu and operating restaurant
- Paid working interview
- Immediate start
- Opportunity to lead a small kitchen without corporate bureaucracy
Ideal candidate:
- At least three years of professional kitchen experience
- Strong line-cooking and prep skills
- Previous lead cook, shift lead, sous chef, or kitchen supervisor experience preferred
- Italian, pizza, pasta, sauté, or small independent restaurant experience is a plus
- Organized, calm under pressure, dependable, and respectful toward coworkers
- Available for evening and weekend shifts
- Authorized to work in the United States
We care more about reliability, practical kitchen ability, leadership, and consistency than culinary-school credentials or fine-dining experience.
To apply, please send us a direct message with your phone number, brief work history, availability, and the most recent kitchen where you worked.
