Tanner's Wine & Tapas
Downtown Burlington, NC

Tanner's is open Tuesday - Saturday from 4pm - 10pm.

About Tanner's Wine & Tapas

Tanner's Wine & Tapas is an intimate wine bar focused on thoughtfully prepared small plates, handcrafted cocktails, and exceptional hospitality. Every member of our team contributes to creating an exceptional guest experience, and we believe that a clean, organized kitchen is just as important as great food.

We're looking for a dependable, self-motivated cook who enjoys working independently while taking pride in every aspect of the kitchen.

Position Summary

This is a solo kitchen position responsible for prep, cooking, plating, dishwashing, and maintaining an exceptionally clean and organized kitchen. You will execute service independently while ensuring every dish reflects the standards established by our Director of Culinary Development.

Because our kitchen operates with a lean team, this role requires someone who embraces ownership, stays organized, and understands that no task is beneath them. Everyone—including our front-of-house team—works together to keep the operation running smoothly.

ResponsibilitiesFood Preparation & Line Execution

Complete all daily prep before service.
Prepare sauces, dressings, proteins, vegetables, and menu components according to standardized recipes.
Execute all menu items with consistency and attention to detail.
Plate every dish according to presentation standards.
Manage ticket flow efficiently while maintaining quality.
Communicate menu availability and ticket times with the front-of-house team.

Kitchen Organization & Cleanliness

Wash dishes, cookware, utensils, and equipment throughout each shift.
Maintain an impeccably clean kitchen at all times—not just at closing.
Keep workstations stocked, organized, and clutter-free.
Complete opening and closing cleaning checklists.
Follow all health department regulations and food safety standards.
Assist with receiving and properly storing deliveries.
Practice proper product rotation (FIFO) and inventory organization.

Ownership & Accountability

Take full ownership of the kitchen during your shift.
Identify what needs to be done without waiting to be asked.
Keep prep levels sufficient for service.
Notify management of inventory needs or maintenance concerns.
Protect food quality, minimize waste, and maintain consistency.
Work collaboratively with the service team to ensure an outstanding guest experience.

Qualifications

Previous line cook experience required.
Strong knife skills and prep experience.
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Excellent organizational and time management skills.
Ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment.
Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and stand for extended periods.
Food safety certification preferred (or willingness to obtain).

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate:

Is a self-starter who takes initiative.
Values cleanliness and organization as much as cooking.
Takes pride in every plate that leaves the kitchen.
Understands that dishwashing is part of maintaining a successful kitchen.
Is dependable, accountable, and coachable.
Wants to contribute to a small team where every person makes a meaningful impact.

Why Tanner's?

We're a small, independently operated wine bar where quality comes before quantity. You'll work closely with our Director of Culinary Development, have the opportunity to refine your skills, and be trusted to take ownership of your kitchen.

During our slower summer season, this position includes dishwashing responsibilities alongside cooking and prep. Our servers also assist with dishes whenever possible because we believe in supporting one another as a team. As business increases, we anticipate adding a dedicated dishwasher to allow our cooks to focus more fully on food preparation and execution.

Our Core Values

At Tanner's Wine & Tapas, we believe:

Take Ownership: Treat the kitchen as if it were your own.
Pursue Excellence: Every plate and every detail matters.
Respect the Team: No job is beneath anyone.
Stay Organized: Cleanliness and preparation drive success.
Be Accountable: We own our work and our results.

Great food begins with pride, organization, and teamwork.

Pay: $18.00 - $20.00 per hour

Benefits:

Paid training

Work Location: In person
