The roleThis role sits at the entry level of the kitchen (Helper through Commis III) and is built to flex across cleaning, prep, and basic cooking support, not to stay fixed to one task. You'll spend part of your shift on cleaning and setup, part assisting the cook directly at the station, and part doing prep work on your own once you've learned it. Prior kitchen experience is a plus but not required. What matters is that you can pick up a task, do it consistently, and move to the next one without being told twice.

A typical day:

- Morning: receive and check incoming ingredients, wash and prep vegetables/proteins, set up stations and equipment for the day
- Midday to evening (peak order hours): work directly alongside the cook, doing basic prep and simple cooking tasks (portioning, marinating, loading sous-vide, finishing straightforward components) so the cook can focus on the sear/finish step; keep the station clean during service; pack and label finished orders for pickup
- Close: deep-clean equipment and surfaces, restock for the next day, dispose of waste per hygiene protocol
