As the cook, you'll also take care of washing kitchen dishes to keep things running smoothly.
Shifts :
We're open from 12 to 9 with cooks working 9:30a-10:00p, and shifts can range from 4-12 hours, depending on your preferred schedule. Sunday availability is required, plus either Friday or Saturday .

What We Offer:
$16/hr starting, increasing to $17/hr after probationary period Paid training for the first 2 weeks to get you comfortable with our recipes and kitchen setup.
