PART-TIME BISTRO & CATERING COOK
La Quinta & Coachella Valley | $23-$26 per hour plus tips The Butler Did It is hiring two experienced, dependable part-time cooks for our small bistro inside a resort community in La Quinta and our catering events throughout the Coachella Valley. Ideally, we would like cooks who enjoy both bistro service and off-site events, with room to grow into leading the kitchen at smaller catered parties.
SCHEDULE & LOCATIONS
Bistro:
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Open 8 a.m.-3 p.m., with a mix of 6- and 8-hour shifts, including preparation and closing duties as assigned.
Catering:
Part-time event shifts at locations throughout the Coachella Valley. Schedules vary by event. We are looking to hire within 1-2 weeks.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Prepare and cook menu items with consistent quality, timing, and presentation. Organize prep and keep your station stocked and ready for service. Follow recipes, event menus, and instructions while handling dietary requests carefully. Maintain safe food handling, proper storage, and a clean, organized kitchen. Help with event preparation, setup, cooking, plating, and kitchen cleanup. Communicate clearly with servers and event managers to keep service running smoothly.
ROOM TO GROW
We want cooks who can develop into trusted event chefs. As your skills and confidence grow, you may take responsibility for food preparation and service at smaller parties, working alongside one server. An event manager is present at arrival to help get things started, but may not remain for the full event. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership, staying organized, and representing the business professionally with clients.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Professional cooking experience in a restaurant, catering business, or comparable kitchen. Strong preparation, cooking, food safety, and time-management skills. Consistent attention to quality and presentation. Dependability, teamwork, and clear communication. Ability to work independently as responsibilities grow. Availability for the bistro schedule and the ability to get to event locations throughout the Coachella Valley. Catering or private-event experience is a plus. PAY $23-$26 per hour, based on experience, plus tips for both bistro and catering work. Tip amounts vary.
