Full Job Description

Bring your kitchen craft to a fast-moving commissary team.

We’re a busy USDA grade commissary kitchen producing fresh, made-to-order grab-and-go breakfast tacos, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, and wraps. We’re looking for an experienced kitchen team member who takes pride in clean knife work, consistent recipe execution, and a tight, well-organized line. If you’ve worked the morning rush, run prep, or built a service from a recipe book — you’ll feel right at home here.

Why you’ll like working here

Real kitchen work — prep, line cooking, and execution, not just assembly
Predictable schedule
Established recipes and clear standards, so you can focus on doing the work well
A team that values craft, cleanliness, and showing up for each other
Room to grow as the kitchen grows

What you’ll do

Execute breakfast and lunch builds — tacos, sandwiches, and wraps — to spec, with consistency every day
Run the griddle, stove, and oven for hot components: bacon, sausage, eggs, sautéed vegetables, and more
Prep meats, cheeses, and produce using slicers, knives, and standard kitchen tools — clean cuts, clean station
Maintain food safety, temperature, and sanitation standards through every shift
Keep cold and dry storage organized, rotated, and labeled (FIFO)
Track par levels, flag low stock, and help keep the line stocked through service
Operate kitchen equipment safely and confidently

Cleaning & sanitation

Clean and sanitize dishes, cookware, utensils, equipment, and workstations
Sweep, mop, and disinfect floors daily
Take out trash and manage waste disposal
Follow all food health, safety, and hygiene requirements

What we’re looking for

1+ year of professional kitchen experience — commissary, café, deli, line cook, or prep cook
Confident kitchen skills and comfort with slicers and standard kitchen equipment (scales, etc)
Solid grasp of food safety basics: temperatures, dating, storage, and cross-contamination
A team player who keeps their station tight under volume
Attention to detail in build accuracy and presentation
Reliable, on time, and ready to work

Nice to have

Food Handler’s Card or ServSafe certification
Experience in a high-volume breakfast or grab-and-go program
Familiarity with sandwich, taco, or wrap programs at scale

Schedule

5 days a week
4 weekday morning shifts (Monday–Friday)
1 weekend day per week

Pay & employment

$18.00–$20.00 per hour, based on experience
Full-time and Part-time options available
People with a criminal record are encouraged to apply, as we are a second chance company

If you take pride in your work, move with purpose, and want to be part of a kitchen that values craft and consistency — we’d love to meet you.

Job Types: Full-time, Part-time

Pay: $18.00 - $20.00 per hour

Expected hours: 35 – 45 per week

People with a criminal record are encouraged to apply

Shift availability:

Day Shift (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
