Maintain a clean, organized, and sanitary workstation throughout the prep and service shift.
Communicate clearly with the Chef de Cuisine and line team regarding prep completion, par levels, and any shortages.
Assist line cooks during service with mise en place replenishment, plating support, and station assistance as needed.
Receive and inspect incoming deliveries, flagging any quality or quantity concerns to the chef team.
Support kitchen cleaning and closing duties including breaking down stations, sweeping, mopping, and equipment sanitation.
Follow all HACCP food safety, allergen, and sanitation standards at all times.

Qualifications & Experience

1–2 years of experience in a professional kitchen; fine dining or upscale casual experience preferred.
Solid foundational knife skills and familiarity with classical preparation techniques.
Ability to read and follow recipes and prep lists with accuracy and consistency.
Experience working in a high-volume kitchen environment with multiple concurrent tasks.

Ability to take direction well and execute consistently under the guidance of the culinary team.
