We're looking for a hard working and efficient prep cook to join our culinary team at The Hatch & Della's in downtown Paso Robles. The position would be responsible for executing prep recipes to specification and would work directly with our Executive Chef and Sous Chefs. Shifts would start at 8:00 AM after training is completed. A part time position would be considered for the right candidate.
Ideal candidates will have 3-5 years experience in a similar kitchen environment and be able to provide references from former or current employers. Because Della's is a wood-fired pizzeria, our ideal candidate has experience with dough production and management. The ability to cover night shifts on the line from time to time isn't required but would be a plus!
Cooks are tipped out by service staff and by guests. All gratuities are divvied out by hours worked and are included on biweekly paychecks.
Primary responsibilities:
- Perform delegated tasks from Chef and ownership
- Day to day food preparation according to company standards
- Follow recipes, portion controls and presentation specifications as set by the restaurant
- Leave the kitchen clean for line cooks, adhering to set checklists
- Maintain a prep list of station duties
- Follow the FIFO method to maximize freshness
- Assist in food inventory and control
- Assist in properly receiving and storing delivered items
- Clean food prep areas, equipment, utensils and strictly adhere to sanitation, food safety, and hygiene guidelines
- Other duties or responsibilities as assigned or required
