Restaurant Line Cook

We are hiring an experienced Lead Line Cook who can confidently work and run the line independently when our chefs are unavailable or focused on other responsibilities.

This is a hands-on position for someone who knows their way around a busy kitchen, can stay organized, maintain quality and consistency, and keep service moving without needing constant direction. You’ll work alongside our chefs regularly, but you also need to be someone we can trust to handle the line on your own when needed.

If you need a chef standing next to you to get through service, this isn’t the position for you.

We are a scratch kitchen, and we take pride in doing things the right way.
We are also a community-first restaurant built on regulars and consistency.

Our Motto: Community above everything.
