Kitchen - Line Cook Full Time
The Line Cook’s major responsibility is to prepare food, help other kitchen workers in the
preparation of food items and set up allocated stations for menu, as instructed by Executive Chef/Sous Chef/Senior Line Cook, while staying compliant with standards.

Responsibilities

• Station Set Up: The line cook is responsible for preparing his or her station before the start of each service. The line cook must make sure that all the supplies that will be needed for service are available and ready for use. This can include preparing some items in advance, or performing simple tasks such as stocking the station with plates and bowls.
• Prepping Food: The line cook will be asked to prep food for service each day. This can mean chopping vegetables, butchering meat, or preparing sauces. Depending on the needs of the kitchen, the line cook may also be asked to prepare items for other stations or for special events. The line cook may use prep and production lists as guides to check the many items necessary to be prepared and recipe books for specific instruction.
• Cooking: During meal service, the line cook is responsible for preparing the items requested from his or her station. The cooks can be rotated between the grill, sauté, apps and pantry as trained to do so.
• Clean Up: At the end of service, the line cook is responsible for cleaning his or her station, and may be asked to help other cooks clean up their stations. This means disposing of garbage, cleaning utensils, pots, and pans, and cleaning cooking surfaces. The line cook will also be responsible for taking care of leftover food, whether that means disposing of it, returning unused items to the correct inventory location, or storing cooked goods for use at another service.
• Stocking: The line cook is also called on to unload delivery trucks and store inventory correctly. This can mean stocking pantries or walk in refrigerators, or simply inventorying items and reporting to the Executive Chef/Sous Chef/Senior Line Cook
