What You'll Bring
- Solid working knowledge of all commercial kitchen equipment and culinary preparation techniques
- Demonstrated proficiency in sautéing, broiling, frying, roasting, butchery, garde manger, pantry, and breakfast cookery
- Experience leading or mentoring kitchen staff — prior lead cook or senior cook experience strongly preferred
- Culinary degree, culinary school training, or apprenticeship preferred — not required
- Ability to stand and move at a fast pace for extended periods in a high-volume kitchen
What You Can Look Forward To
