Job Title: Lead Line Cook / Kitchen Lead

The Role: We are looking for a highly skilled, disciplined, and motivated Lead Line Cook to join our culinary team. This is a "player-coach" position designed for a seasoned professional who excels on the line but also possesses the leadership maturity to oversee daily operations and maintain our high standards of execution.

Key Responsibilities:

Service Leadership: Lead the line during peak hours, ensuring timing, plating, and quality standards are met across all stations.

Operational Oversight: Assist in managing daily prep lists, inventory rotation (FIFO), and ordering to ensure zero-waste efficiency.

Quality Control: Act as the final eyes on dishes before they leave the kitchen in the Executive Chef’s absence.

Mentorship: Train junior line and prep cooks on technique, station organization, and safety protocols.

Administrative Support: Assist with temperature logs, health code compliance, and closing checklists to ensure the kitchen is "inspection-ready" at all times.

What We’re Looking For:

Experience: 4+ years in high-volume, scratch kitchens, with at least 1 year in a supervisory or "senior" capacity.

Technical Mastery: Advanced knife skills and expert-level knowledge of various cooking techniques (sauté, grill, garde manger).

Temperament: A calm-under-pressure professional who leads by example rather than volume.

Availability: Flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays.

We offer competitive pay, a professional environment focused on culinary growth, and the opportunity to have a direct impact on the kitchen's success.
