Hi Y'all! Looking for a part time prep cook or seasonal contractor for the holiday season!
Mindful Meals is a growing meal prep and catering company specializing in creative, healthful meals made from intentionally sourced ingredients. We offer a plant-based or omnivore menu with seasonal, rotating entrees. We use organic meats and eggs, locally grown Texas produce whenever possible, and no seed oils, artificial ingredients, preservatives, or highly processed ingredients.
Mindful Meals was founded in 2020 after years of restaurant work left me wanting something different: shorter, more sustainable hours, and meals made from ingredients I could stand behind. That principle still shapes how we operate: a focused two-day production schedule, an intentional clean-ingredient standard and a small team where work is visible and valued.
We offer a weekly meal prep delivery program, private client work and catering on the weekends.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING
FORThis role suits someone who wants a part time, or flexible schedule, cares about ingredient quality and the standards behind the food, and is motivated by the chance to grow with a small company, taking on more responsibility as we expand.
We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys cooking, and brings a positive, steady presence to a fast-paced kitchen. Someone who communicates well and stays composed under pressure.
Regular schedule:
Monday and Tuesday 10am-6pm meal prep production and packaging.
Opportunity to take deliveries if interested.
Additional hours available Wednesday-Sunday for the right candidate: We take on private clients, private dinners, cooking classes, catering and full service wellness retreats.
If you have ever been interested in being a private chef, and don't mind working with clients, this is a great start.
Next year we plan to launch more postpartum and family options to help support new families.
It is a great gig for someone who loves to cook, but wants out of the restaurant grind.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITYWhile this role is a Prep Cook position, we are especially interested in candidates who want to grow with the company. As a small operation, your contributions directly impact the business. There is opportunity to learn and grow across our full operation production, meal prep, catering and wellness retreats, and to take on additional responsibility over time.
