  • Handle food prep and cleaning as needed
  • Help with dishwashing and unloading delivery trucks

What You'll Bring

  • ServSafe food handler certificate (required)
  • Experience in a restaurant kitchen (not fast food)

  • Comfort reading and following recipes
  • Cook-to-order experience is a bonus
  • Customer service skills
