Chicago, United States Soul & Smoke Full time $17 - $21
Line Cook - Riverfront Location

Customer-facing kiosk.  Weekends/Evenings required.

At Soul & Smoke, we treat barbecue with the reverence it deserves. We have consumed with the details: the meat-to-bone ratio on our ribs, the creaminess of our mac and cheese, and the combination of spices in Chef Carter’s signature sauce.
We are seeking an experienced, capable and reliable prep/line cook to join the team at our pop-up kiosk at Rockwell on the River. This Soul & Smoke outlet in Avondale requires a skill set strong enough to carry out line prep, execute line orders and interact with customers in this open, client-facing kitchen. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated, detail-oriented, energetic cook with strong time management and communication skills.
Because our success depends upon the dedication of our employees, we are selective in choosing new members of our team. We take pride in the quality of our food and service - you will be an important member of a team effort.
Job Responsibilities:
  • Set up and stock stations daily with necessary food and supplies.
  • Prepare food items by cutting, chopping, mixing, smoking, grilling, sautéing, and other cooking methods according to specified recipes and standards.
  • Maintain cleanliness that complies with food sanitation requirements by properly handling food and ensuring correct storage.
  • Perform inventory checks and complete food storage logs as required.
  • Prep and send out dine-in and to-go orders in a fast-paced setting.
  • Communicate with Soul & Smoke management, Kiosk Lead, customers, and coworkers in a proactive and professional manner.
  • Maintain a positive, empathetic, and professional attitude.
  • Wash and put away dishes.
  • There are also FOH duties in the role at this pop-up, taking orders and maintaining the dining room - this will change when we build out the restaurant later this year.

Requirements:
  • Must have the ability to work evenings and weekends and be flexible when necessary.
  • 2 years of line/prep experience - some fine dining preferred.
  • Food handler's certificate preferred.
  • Reliable and timely.
  • Ability to multitask and keep organized.
  • Ability to walk/stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 pounds.
  • Ability to work autonomously and as part of a team.
  • COVID vaccination is preferred.

Pay/Benefits:
  • JOB TYPE: Full-time preferred, part-time is possible.
  • PAY: $17-21 per hour, plus pooled revenue share (usually $4-6 per hour additional).
  • BENEFITS: Staff meals, dining discounts. Aflac plans and Illinois Secure Choice Roth IRA retirement savings plans available. Paid leave. Health and dental available for full-time employees after 90 days.
