Follow food-safety, raw-food separation, allergen and cross-contact procedures. Label and rotate ingredients, report shortages and quality concerns, and record temperatures and waste as directed. Help with prep, opening, closing and other kitchen tasks as assigned.
What you bring
Experience on a commercial grill or hot line in a busy restaurant. Ability to manage several orders, work safely with poultry and produce consistent results during service.
