Full Job Description

You prep the food. You cook the food. You deliver the food. You get the tips.

That's the loop here, and it's why our people earn more than a standard kitchen job pays. We're the fastest growing caterer in Illinois, and we need people who can do all of it, not just stand at a station.

If standing at one station for eight hours sounds miserable to you, good. That's not this.

WHAT THE JOB ACTUALLY IS

You'll learn the kitchen from zero, and you'll be out on the road running catering deliveries to major corporate clients.

You prep and cook the order. You load it, deliver it, and set it up on site. The client sees you, not a logo. And the tips on those drops go to the people who ran them.

Most people run deliveries with a team. Once you've earned higher level status, you run them solo, and you get paid more for it.

NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED

That's who we hire. We train from zero, and we've done it for three generations of chefs, general managers, and high-level people in this industry.

WHY WE TEACH BOTH SIDES

Most kitchen jobs teach you one thing: cook food, repeat. That's a trap, not a career.

Culinary skills get you hired. Business skills get you promoted, here or anywhere. Handling a major client on site is a business skill, and you build it every time you walk one of these orders in the door.

It's the same training people pay culinary college tuition for, except here you earn while you learn it. No debt.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Kitchen side:

- Catering prep, packing, temps, load-outs

- Grill, fry, saute, pizza, station by station

- Speed and consistency under pressure

- Food safety, temps, allergens

Client side:

- Running deliveries and setups for major corporate accounts

- Communication that turns a first order into a standing one

- Build regulars and repeat customers (it's really just making friends)

- Problem-solve when everything hits at once

HOW YOU ACTUALLY GET PAID HERE

Your hourly rate is a starting base, not your ceiling. Here you have multiple ways to earn:

- Hourly base that grows as you prove skills (reviews at 30, 60, 90 days)

- Tips from catering deliveries to major clients

- Base boosts as you master more skills and handle more tasks

- Higher pay for running deliveries solo once you reach that level

- Commission once you reach Chef level and run your own corporate accounts

- Internal marketing compensation, additional earning opportunities inside the company

Most kitchen jobs have one number. We have six. The people who can cook AND deliver unlock the most of them.

We're investing real training hours, real ingredients, and real mentorship into you before you're producing at full speed. We bet on you first. That's what the starting base reflects.

PAY

- $15-$17/hr during paid training. This is your base, not your total.

- Your base grows as your skills grow

- If what you want is the training, this is a great deal. If what you want is only the highest starting number, there are places that pay more to teach you nothing. No hard feelings.

PROOF THIS IS REAL

- Third generation of chefs and leaders currently in development

- Featured on WGN, Fox Chicago, Windy City Live, Chicago's Best, Daily Herald

- AP News highlighted us as a tech-forward restaurant

- Staff-created menu hits: Giant 13" Taco Mozzarella Stick, Korean BBQ

SCHEDULE

- Daytime availability required for training and catering deliveries

- Some evening and weekend availability needed (you won't always work them)

- Part-time to start, full-time as fast as you train

- Schaumburg, IL. Deliveries run to clients throughout the area.

YOU'RE A FIT IF

- You'd rather move than stand still

- You actually like talking to people, you're the face of the company on every drop

- Coachable, feedback makes you better

- Reliable, you show up ready

- Team-first, no egos in the kitchen

- You want to build a career, not just collect a check

HOW TO APPLY

Apply on Indeed and answer every screener question completely. We read all of them.
