We're a small, serious kitchen. Stone hearth. Seasonal menu. Everything made from scratch. If that sounds like your kind of work, keep reading. Ash & Olive is a fine-casual restaurant and wine/cocktail bar in downtown Ashland. We cook over fire, we care deeply about the food, and we run a tight, respectful kitchen. We're looking for a line cook who shows up ready, keeps their station clean without being reminded, and doesn't fall apart when the tickets stack up. What the job actually looks like: You own your station — prep, execution, cleanliness — and your team counts on it. You'll work our stone hearth gas oven. It's the heart of the kitchen and you'll learn to love it. You communicate with your team clearly and without drama. You move with urgency on a busy Friday without sacrificing the details that matter. What we're looking for: At least 2 years on the line in a full-service restaurant. Not fast food. Not a café that does 30 covers on a Saturday. A real kitchen that gets busy. You know your knife, you know food safety, and you don't need to be told twice. Stone hearth or wood-fired oven experience is a genuine bonus. Weekend and holiday availability is a must — that's when we need you most.
What you get:
A kitchen that respects you and your craft. Room to grow if you're the kind of person who earns it. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day off. Plus several days around the 4th of July. We believe in rest. If you've spent time in kitchens where standards matter and you're ready for a place that feels like something — we'd love to hear from you.
