We're looking for a hard working and efficient prep cook to join our culinary team at The Hatch & Della's restaurants in downtown Paso Robles. The position would be responsible for executing prep recipes to specification and would work directly with Chef team. Shifts start at 8:30 AM and weekend availability is required.
Ideal candidates will have 3-5 years experience in a similar kitchen environment and be able to provide references from former or current employers. Prep cooks must be able to read and follow recipes to specification. 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
