  • Operate large kitchen equipment like ovens, mixers, steamers, and more (safely and confidently).

What You Bring:
  • High school diploma or GED (required as of August 1, 2019).

  • Physical ability to handle the demands of a busy kitchen including lifting and carrying hot containers.
Bonus If You Have:
  • One year of experience cooking in a high-volume kitchen (think schools, hospitals, or catering).
  • A love of food and a passion for serving others.
Why You'll Love It Here:
  • You're not just cooking you're providing comfort and care through every meal.
  • You'll work in a collaborative kitchen environment where teamwork makes the dream work.
  • Your food will brighten someone's day whether it's a patient, a visitor, or a fellow employee.
