Lead Grill Cook

LB Steak Bishop Ranch LP • San Ramon, CA

5d • Onsite

About The Position

LB Steak in Bishop Ranch is hiring a Lead Grill Cook to anchor our grill station. As the most senior cook on the grill, you set the standard for quality, temperature accuracy, and pace, the three things our steakhouse experience depends on. You are the person the line looks to when the rail fills up, and the person we trust to bring along the rest of the grill team. This is a hands-on role, not a management position. You will spend the majority of your time on the line, owning the grill station from prep through service. You will partner with the Executive Chef to maintain LB Steak standards, support newer cooks on technique, and contribute to a kitchen culture rooted in craftsmanship and consistency. This role reports to the Executive Chef and is a meaningful step on the culinary growth path at LB Steak and across the Vine Hospitality family of restaurants.

• Comfortable working in a hot kitchen environment around open flame and live cooking equipment.

Responsibilities

• Participate in tastings, line checks, and menu rollouts to stay current on changes and seasonal offerings.
• Serve as the go-to resource on the grill, supporting and training newer line cooks on technique, pacing, and station setup.
