Smoque BBQ - Now Hiring: Kitchen Staff

Click here to learn more & apply today!

Were not hiring cooks. Were hiring fast, focused kitchen pros who can keep up, stay sharp, and work clean.

At Smoque BBQ , our kitchen doesn't run like a traditional line. Theres no flame, no pans, and no artistic plating. What there is is volume, precision, speed, and standards. Every station plays a critical part in making sure our food gets out fast, hot, consistent, and right. This is more of an assembly and quality control job than a chef gig and its every bit as important.

Were looking for full-time or part-time staff to join our kitchen team. Experience helps, but its not required. If youre organized, reliable, and able to work in a fast-paced environment, well train you. What the Job Actually Is:

  • Reading tickets and assembling customer orders fast and accurately

  • Checking every item for quality, portioning, and temperature

  • Communicating constantly with the rest of the line to keep things moving

  • Keeping your station clean and stocked

  • Following food safety and sanitation protocols (no shortcuts, no excuses)

  • Supporting your team and asking for help when you need it

Requirements:
  • You need to be on time, dependable, and available weekends thats when were slammed

  • Shifts run anytime between 11am and 10pm , Tuesday through Sunday

  • Youll be on your feet, moving fast, for 410 hours per shift

  • You must be able to lift 50 pounds and handle a fast-paced, high-pressure environment

  • Fluent English is required for line communication

  • Food Handler Certification is a plus if you dont have it, youll need to get it after hire

Who Thrives Here:
  • People who move with purpose

  • People who pay attention to the details

  • People who dont lose focus when it gets busy

  • People who take pride in doing it right , every single time

Weve been serving up award-winning BBQ in Chicagos Old Irving Park for over 18 years. Were proud of the food we serve and the people who help us serve it.

If that sounds like you, apply now. Lets talk.
