Job Description

We are seeking a talented and passionate Cook/Chef to join our culinary team. Here, we work as a family—it’s not a cut-and-dry corporate environment. We are looking for someone with genuine industry experience who deeply cares about the food they put out and understands the importance of serving others. Having Breakfast⭐️, lunch, and dinner experience is necessary.

Weekends are a must, and you need to be ready to handle the fast-paced rush of event nights during TD Coliseum shows. Full-time is available, but you will have to be diligent and consistent. We will train you to our standards, which means starting off part-time. If you want full-time hours, your quality and ability must be up to par.

If you enjoy cooking, have a positive attitude, and have a passion for culinary arts, please apply. If you think this is a construction job where you just assemble ingredients, do not bother. FAST FOOD EXPERIENCE IS NOT APPLICABLE.

Duties

  • Prepare and cook high-quality meals according to the restaurant’s menu and standards.
  • Confidently manage and run the kitchen by yourself when required.
  • Use your creativity to develop new specials and desserts (and genuinely enjoy doing it!).
  • Handle high-volume service during busy TD Coliseum event nights.
  • Oversee kitchen operations, including food preparation, cooking, and presentation.
  • Manage inventory, ensuring that all ingredients are fresh and properly stored.
  • Maintain cleanliness and organization in the kitchen, adhering strictly to food safety regulations.
  • Collaborate with the rest of the team to ensure smooth service during peak hours.
  • Monitor food quality and presentation before serving to guests.

Experience

  • Proven experience as a Sous Chef/Cook in a full-service restaurant setting (Fast food experience is not applicable).
  • Ability to work efficiently under pressure, especially during event nights, while maintaining attention to detail.
  • Proficiency to run the kitchen solo and take ownership of your shift.
  • Strong knowledge of various cooking techniques, cuisines, and food safety practices.
  • Familiarity with kitchen equipment and tools used in meal preparation.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work seamlessly within a family-style team dynamic.
  • A passion for the culinary arts, creative menu planning, and a commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences.

Join us in creating memorable meals that delight our guests!
