- Operate large kitchen equipment like ovens, mixers, steamers, and more (safely and confidently).
- Use portion scales, measure ingredients, and ensure food consistency and quality.

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

- Ability to follow recipes, scale portions, and operate large kitchen equipment.
- 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.
- There's always something new to learn and serve from daily menus to special events.
