Back of House , Prep Kitchen Cook

Vacancy expired!

Now hiring a prep kitchen cook for Goose Hollow Inn, an established Portland tavern and coffee house, owned and operated by the Clark family and a dedicated awesome staff.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to: making potato salad; preparing raw vegetables (peeling, cutting, dicing, etc.); making our house sauces and dressings; slicing meats and cheeses using a commercial slicer, general kitchen care/clean-up/maintenance; being a good team player and communicator.

The back-of-house kitchen produces a ton of food in a small team environment; there are no more than two or three prep kitchen staff working at the same time. It's mellow and even somewhat relaxing, since it's removed from the Front of House environment, located in the lower level of our coffee house, next door to the pub. But the job is not a breeze. Each day, the prep kitchen must continually produce food: that is the job. While it's generally relaxed and good for a person who doesn't want to serve people or work front-of-house, prep kitchen cooks must have attention to detail, be able to handle knives and tools efficiently and with moderate speed, and be a good steward of their space.

We have 26+ hours for BOH starting @ 18/hr, with Weds, Thurs, Sat, Sun starting at 10 am and a Friday start time of noon . These days and times are permanent and won't change from week to week; however, some weeks are busier than others, of course. Taking time off is coordinated among staff, planning ahead, trading shifts, and helping each other out.

When applying, those with prep kitchen experience will be considered first; however, many of our best cooks have been home-trained and simply love to cook and learn new things. What we are looking for is someone who wants to work and can produce a lot of food.

Benefits

26 weekly hours- health care provided

Free shift meal and drink

50% off when not working

Autonomous/independent work environment

If you would like to apply, then: send a brief cover letter to my email; attach a resume, and include references. Address this correspondence to Rachel. Thank you for reading this far: we look forward to hearing from you.
