About Hy-Vee

At Hy-Vee, we believe the shortest distance between two people is a smile. We're seeking people with a passion for customer service, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to being part of a team that strives to make our customers' lives easier, healthier and happier.

The Role and Why It's Important

Our Breakfast Cooks are the heart of the Market Grille morning operation, preparing a wide variety of hot and cold breakfast items that fuel our customers' days. In this role, you'll prep ingredients, assemble dishes according to restaurant recipes and specifications, and keep the kitchen running smoothly from the first shift through the last.

If you love working in a kitchen, take pride in quality food, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we'd love to have you on our team.

Prepare cooking surfaces and ready the kitchen for service
Prepare vegetables, sides, meats, and breakfast foods according to restaurant recipes and specifications
Place food in hot cases, monitor amounts, and refill as necessary throughout your shift
Prepare items for upcoming shifts to ensure a smooth transition
Stay knowledgeable of all menu items and take guest orders as needed
Order product and supplies when necessary or notify the department head of needs
Practice proper sanitation procedures and keep the work area clean and organized at all times
Work with co-workers as a team to ensure customer satisfaction and a pleasant work environment
Assist in other areas of the store as needed and take on special projects as assigned
Maintain strict adherence to personal hygiene, dress standards, and all Hy-Vee policies and store guidelines
Report to work when scheduled and on time

Your Skills

Solve practical problems and interpret instructions across a variety of situations with limited standardization
Perform simple addition and subtraction, copy figures, and count and record accurately
Understand and follow verbal or demonstrated directions and communicate supply needs orally or in writing
Work effectively as part of a team in a fast-paced kitchen environment

Reporting Relationships

Accountable and Reports to: Store Director; Store Manager; Assistant Managers of Store Operations, Perishables, and Health Wellness Home; Food Service Manager; Market Grille Department Manager; Assistant Market Grille Department Manager

Education and Experience

High school diploma or equivalent experience required
Six months or less of similar or related work experience preferred

Physical Requirements

Frequently stand and walk throughout a shift in sales, food service, or delivery areas
Where applicable to the role: ability to safely use sharp knives and blades for food preparation
Where applicable to the role: exposure to heat- and burn-related hazards associated with cooking, baking, or grilling equipment
Where applicable to the role: ability to operate a delivery vehicle in accordance with applicable DOT standards
Perform repetitive standing, walking, reaching, and bending associated with order fulfillment, POS transactions, and cleaning/sanitation duties

Working Environment

This is a fast-paced role in a kitchen environment where you will be on your feet throughout your shift. You will have frequent exposure to cool and warm temperatures, dampness, equipment noise and vibrations, possible equipment movement hazards from slicers and choppers, and daily exposure to cleaning chemicals or solvents. Safety is always a priority, and training is provided to help ensure a safe and supportive work environment.
