About the Job

Prep cooks are the building blocks of a well-oiled kitchen, doing the routine and day-to-day tasks that are needed to allow the cooks and chefs to turn out perfect meals.
Prep cooks do much of the preparation for the dishes that are served. This includes chopping vegetables, breaking down, weighing and mixing ingredients, washing and preparing vegetables, storing food, and more. PM prep cooks will also be in charge of plating all of our desserts, assisting with polishing silverware, and assisting on the line. Our Pastry Chef will take a few days to train and show you how to properly execute every dish to company standards.
