Line Cook Jobs

A Line Cook, or Station Chef, is an integral part of the culinary team in a commercial kitchen. They are primarily responsible for preparing food items, following recipes, and cooking meals in their designated section. The position demands efficiency, ability to work under pressure, and strong attention to detail as they need to deliver high-quality food within a fast-paced environment. Line Cooks also maintain clean work areas, sanitize kitchen equipment, and ensure food safety standards are upheld.

Before becoming a Line Cook, a person might start their culinary career as a Kitchen Helper, Dishwasher, or Prep Cook. Important skills for a Line Cook include cooking skills, knowledge of food safety, teamwork, and the ability to stand for long periods. A certification in food handling or a degree from a culinary school is often required. Some also pursue additional certifications such as the ServSafe Food Handler certificate and Certified Culinarian (CC) certification from the American Culinary Federation to enhance their credentials and improve job prospects.
