Line Cook
About The Position
The Sullivan Noodle Express is hiring line cooks to prepare high-quality food in a fast-paced restaurant environment.

The restaurant highlights its in-house sauces, fresh ingredients, and commitment to exceptional guest service. The position pays $17.13–$18.00 per hour based on experience, with a recent average of an additional $6–$8 per hour from the tip pool. Both full-time and part-time schedules are available.
