At True Food Kitchen we pride ourselves on serving great food! This means that we rely on our prep cooks to consistently and efficiently prepare and portion our food products, beautifully plate and garnish dishes, and ensure that our food is ready to be served to our guests consistently and efficiently. It is the prep cook’s responsibility to accurately and efficiently prepare and portion food products prior to service. The prep cook will also perform other duties in the areas of food and final plate preparation including plating and garnishing of cooked items as necessary. Many items on our menu are seasonal which gives our prep cooks a variety of recipes to prepare as we rotate throughout the year.

We have a successful and professional work environment with opportunities for growth and a development program to get you to that next position in your career. AM/PM and Mid-day shifts available. Part time to 40 hours available per person. Part time team members are offered access to affordable, quality health care through Hooray Health and telehealth options. Pet Insurance for your fur babies. Access to expert guidance through EAP/SupportLinc which offers to help you and your family address and resolve everyday issues. Restaurant Dining Discount. Paid volunteer time to support your community and favorite charities. Eligible to give to and receive from the True Giving fund that supports life changing events.

We look for people who have experience in kitchen preparation, preferably with at least 6 months experience in a similar capacity in a high-volume restaurant. Candidates should exhibit exceptional knife skills and be able to work efficiently in a high volume, fast paced environment. Reading and executing a recipe is essential, along with the flexibility and availability to work nights, holidays and/or weekends. A love of making great food is a must!

What you will be doing includes preparing menu ingredients following a recipe to produce consistent results, completing the prep list, maintaining the station throughout the shift, following all specifications, and stocking items as needed. Responsibilities also include rinsing and cutting raw food products, portioning products and following recipes to ensure plate presentation looks great, and stocking and maintaining sufficient levels of food products at line stations to assure a smooth service period. You will prepare items for broiling, grilling, sautéing or other cooking methods based off recipe requirements, while following proper plate presentation and garnish set up for all dishes. Handling, storing, and rotating all products properly while following sanitization standards, ensuring the work station stays clean and organized, and adhering to all food handling standards are also key parts of the role.

At True Food Kitchen, we believe in the power of whole, real food. We partner with each of our growers, ranchers and producers so that every ingredient meets our TRUE standards. That means better food for our guests and the planet. By crafting "Real Food for Real Life" we embody our purpose: empowering more people to eat real food.
