Full Job Description

The Vibe

We’re a café kitchen that takes food seriously and treats people with care. We hold high standards, communicate clearly, and don’t do drama. We value technique, teamwork, and calm leadership — especially when it’s busy.

We’re looking for a Cook who can confidently execute a café menu, lead a small team of prep and line cooks, and grow into a Sous Chef role over time. If you care about craft, consistency, and building a kitchen people want to stay in, keep reading.

The Kind of Cook We’re Hoping to Find

You might be a unicorn if you:

Can build sauces from scratch (classic and creative) and understand why they work
Are comfortable with braising and layered flavor development
Handle eggs confidently in a café setting
Have experience making crêpes (preferred, not required)
Respect café food as a craft, not “simple food done lazily”

What You’ll Do

Execute café menu items with consistency, speed, and care
Lead a small team of prep and line cooks during shifts, setting the pace and tone
Taste food, correct seasoning, and hold quality standards
Teach techniques and kitchen best practices without ego
Jump in where needed — we’re a small team and we help each other
Maintain cleanliness, organization, and food safety standards
Contribute ideas for sauces, specials, seasonal items, and menu improvements

How We Work

We follow recipes and understand technique
We care deeply about sanitation, organization, and food safety
We communicate clearly, especially during service
We give and receive feedback respectfully
We take care of each other — including staff meals cooked and shared as a team

What We Value

Craft: Flavor, texture, and execution matter
Standards: You notice when something’s off and fix it
Leadership: You guide others calmly and clearly
Team: You make the kitchen better for everyone
Growth: You want to develop into a strong Sous Chef

Experience We’re Looking For

Previous experience as a cook in a café or kitchen environment
Comfort leading or mentoring a small kitchen team (prep and jr line cooks)
Strong communication and organization
Ability to stay steady during busy services
Food safety knowledge (ServSafe a plus; training supported)

Growth Path: Cook → Sous Chef

This role is designed to grow into Sous Chef, with increasing responsibility in:

Shift leadership and team development
Quality control and training
Menu development and specials
Food cost and kitchen systems

Advancement is based on readiness, consistency, and leadership — not just time served. We intend to expand our footprint, so the ideal candidate would be interested in being a future Sous Chef across multiple locations.

Why Work Here

High standards without toxicity
Real opportunity to grow and lead
Staff meals — because feeding your team matters
A respectful, supportive kitchen culture

If you’re a skilled cook who wants to lead well, learn deeply, and help build something solid, we’d love to hear from you.

Pay: From $16.00 per hour

Expected hours: 25.0 – 40.0 per week

Benefits:

Paid training

Work Location: In person
