- Manage prep lists, par levels, receiving, rotation, and monthly inventory to control waste
- Maintain HACCP-aligned practices, temperature logs, and survey-ready sanitation every day
- Be visible in the dining room and support catering, holiday meals, and special events
Requirements:Required Skills/Abilities:
- 3+ years of professional cooking experience, including 1+ year as a sous chef, lead cook, or kitchen supervisor
