Job Description


Now Hiring: Gourmet Prepared Food Chef – Elevate Our Culinary Experience!

Are you passionate about creating restaurant-quality entrées, sides, and salads that delight customers on the go? Do you flourish in a high-volume kitchen where every dish showcases fresh, seasonal ingredients and impeccable technique? If so, we’re excited to meet you!

What You’ll Do

  • Design and execute a daily menu of hot and cold prepared foods—roasted meats, artisan salads, seasonal vegetables, signature sauces, and more.

  • Prep from scratch: butcher, roast, braise, sauté, and compose dishes that hold beautifully in a grab-and-go setting.

  • Champion quality control, ensuring consistent flavor, portioning, and presentation for every item in the case.

  • Manage production schedules to stay ahead of peak periods while minimizing waste.

  • Maintain an immaculate, food-safe workspace in compliance with all ServSafe and health regulations.

  • Collaborate closely with front-of-house and catering teams to fulfill special orders and tasting events.

What We’re Looking For

  • Culinary background in scratch cooking, banquet, or large-batch production (professional schooling a plus, but we’ll train the right talent).

  • Calm, organized demeanor in a fast-paced kitchen—able to juggle multiple stations while meeting strict timelines.

  • Eye for detail—from precise knife work to balanced seasoning and beautiful plating.

  • Team-first attitude with strong communication skills; you thrive on mentoring others and receiving feedback.

  • Evening, weekend, and holiday availability—our prepared foods shine when customers entertain!

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive hourly wage

  • Clear growth path: we promote from within

  • Creative freedom: contribute seasonal recipes and specials that carry your signature

  • Supportive, upbeat culture where culinary passion is celebrated

If you’re ready to raise the bar on prepared cuisine and showcase your culinary artistry to hundreds of guests each day, apply now and let’s create something delicious together!
