Line Cook Jobs in Fitchburg, WI

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.
