Position Overview Kindred Spirits Restaurant at The Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls is building a team of passionate, talented, and creative culinary professionals (chefs). We’re looking for individuals who care about food, guest experience, and being part of a collaborative work environment.
Join our culinary team in a full-time or part-time capacity for daytime and evening shifts. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a welcoming, fast-paced environment that values quality, creativity, organization, and hospitality.
Our scratch, open kitchen allows guests to see and appreciate your craft—so professionalism, pride in your work, and a willingness to interact with guests are a must.
Because our kitchen is small and our business depends on teamwork, we’re specifically looking for chefs who value versatility, cross-training, and reliability. Team members may work breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner depending on business needs and scheduling.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: • Prepare and present food in an attractive, consistent, and timely manner. • Maintain a clean and organized workstation, following all health, safety, and sanitation standards. • Support service across breakfast, lunch, and dinner through cross-training and station flexibility. • Stock and organize food trucks, receive and put away incoming inventory, and ensure proper rotation of stock (FIFO method). • Properly store, label, and date all food items; ensure leftovers are handled and stored appropriately at the end of each shift. • Clean kitchen surfaces, equipment, and utensils after each shift to maintain a sanitary work environment. • Take out trash and recycling as needed throughout and at the end of each shift. • Communicate clearly and promptly with the Chef de Cuisine / BOH Manager regarding any issues, shortages, or concerns. • Support additional tasks as needed by management or ownership to meet business needs and maintain the guest experience.
QUALIFICATIONS: • Strong prep and organizational skills; able to prep recipe components accurately and on time. • Able to work independently or collaboratively in a fast-paced kitchen environment. • Capable of following recipes and preparation instructions consistently. • Physically able to lift, push, and pull up to 50 lbs and navigate stairs throughout the shift. • Basic knowledge of food handling and food safety practices. • Willingness to learn, take direction, and adapt to new procedures or menu items. • A genuine passion for food, quality, and the guest experience. • Flexible schedule, including availability on weekends and holidays.
