Full Job Description

At Shellie’s Country Café, our Line Cooks are the heartbeat of the kitchen — the ones turning out hearty, home-style meals that make our guests say, “Holy Cow, that was good!” If you take pride in your work, move fast, and care about doing things right, this is the spot for you. We cook with love, laugh through the rush, and always have each other’s backs.

Position Summary

The Line Cook position is responsible for preparing and cooking menu items with consistency, accuracy, and speed. You’ll set up your station, follow recipes, maintain food safety standards, and work closely with the team to keep the kitchen running smoothly. Every plate that leaves your line should make someone’s day.

Key Responsibilities

· Set up, stock, and maintain cleanliness of your station before, during, and after service.

· Prepare food items according to recipes and portion standards.

· Cook menu items to proper temperature and presentation standards.

· Communicate clearly with other cooks and servers to ensure accurate and timely orders.

· Follow all food safety, sanitation, and labeling procedures.

· Keep walk-in, coolers, and prep areas clean and organized.

· Handle equipment safely and report any issues immediately.

· Assist teammates with prep or cleaning tasks as needed.

· Help prepare the kitchen for the next shift and complete end-of-shift cleaning tasks.

· Uphold “Nothing Fancy, Just Good Food” by serving every dish with care and consistency.

What We’re Looking For

· Strong work ethic and attention to detail.

· Ability to stay calm and focused under pressure.

· Knowledge of basic cooking techniques and food safety.

· Good communication and teamwork skills.

· Dependable, punctual, and willing to learn.

· Must be able to stand for long periods and lift up to 40 lbs.

Living Our Core Values
1. **Hospitality First** – Even behind the scenes, your cooking and teamwork create great guest experiences.
2. **Accountability** – You own your station and your work — if it’s on the ticket, it’s done right.
3. **Respect** – You treat coworkers, equipment, and food with care and pride.
4. **Progress Over Perfection** – You aim to improve a little each day, learning from every shift.
5. **Teamwork** – You know the kitchen runs on communication, hustle, and helping each other out.
6. **Excellence** – You take pride in every plate that leaves your line — consistent, clean, and correct.
7. **Adaptability** – You stay cool when things heat up, adjusting to new challenges with a positive attitude.

30-Day Success Benchmarks

· By the end of your first 30 days, you should:

o Know your station setup and closing procedures by heart.

o Understand the full menu and how to cook each item consistently.

o Communicate clearly with servers and other cooks during rushes.

o Keep your station stocked, clean, and organized at all times.

o Maintain proper food temperatures and storage standards.

o Receive positive feedback from teammates or management.

Benefits

· Flexible scheduling (days, nights, weekends, holidays).

· Competitive and negotiable hourly wage based on experience, availability, and certifications.

· Opportunities for raises and advancement through performance and reliability.

· Full time employees are eligible for employer sponsored health insurance benefits at half-cost upon successful completion of probationary period.

· Line cooks are included in a hefty tip share upon successful completion of probationary period.

· Employee meals and discounts.

· Advanced wage payment with Toast Pay Card, making wages accessible before payday.

· Family environment with local business owners.

Kitchen Manager or Shift Supervisor.

About Us

At Shellie’s Country Cafe, we’re not just a restaurant — we’re a family that loves good food, good company, and the kind of small-town hospitality that makes people feel right at home. We’re open 24 hours a day because our community doesn’t stop — and neither do we.

We’ve been lucky enough to earn some amazing recognition along the way — Best of Helena, Best of Montana, Montana’s Best Diner (thank you, Cosmopolitan Magazine!), and even SBA Woman-Owned Small Business of the Year. But the real reward has always been the people — both the ones who walk through our doors and the ones who make the magic happen behind the scenes.

We’re everyday people who work hard, learn together, and lift each other up. When you join Shellie’s, you’re not just getting a job — you’re joining a team that becomes family, where everyone’s welcome, laughter is part of the job, and progress always beats perfection.
