Job Description

Line Cook — Saltbrick Prime Steakhouse & Lockworks Tavern (Branford, CT) $19-$23/hour
  • Full-Time & Part-Time One kitchen.
Two concepts. More range than most cooks see in a decade. Our line feeds both Saltbrick Prime — a 120-seat steakhouse built on prime cuts, seafood, and a patented dry-aging program — and Lockworks Tavern , our high-energy room for elevated tavern fare, weekend brunch, and late-night service. Same pass, two very different tickets. One shift you're plating a precise raw bar order; the next you're holding down a packed Friday-night rail. Either way, your technique gets sharper. Set in historic Branford Lock Works Square, we take the craft seriously — right down to dry-aging our beef in a controlled room lined with pink Himalayan salt brick and run on timed UV cycles. If you want to actually get better at this work, there's room here to do it. We're hiring experienced Line Cooks who can own a station when it gets loud.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Prep and plate to spec across appetizers, raw bar, mains, and desserts, following recipes and menus. Run your station with real technique — sauté, fry, broiler, and clean, confident knife work. Execute dietary and allergy modifications (gluten, dairy, nut) accurately, without slowing the line. Keep your station spotless and in full food-safety compliance, every shift.
WHAT YOU BRING
2+ years on a line (sauté, fry, or broiler experience a strong plus). Composure and attention to detail under pressure. A solid grasp of food safety and the instinct to keep a clean workspace. The stamina to stand for long stretches and lift 50+ lbs. Open availability is a plus.
WHAT WE OFFER
$19-$23/hour, based on experience. Paid training and real room to grow your technique across two concepts. Health, dental, and vision insurance. Shift meal, employee dining discount, and a flexible schedule.
SCHEDULE
Lunch (day) shifts run Saturday and Sunday only. Monday through Friday is dinner (PM) service. Full-time and part-time, in person — Branford, CT (06405).
