Meal Preparation Assistant - Mezoco Catering

Kitchen Porter

5 hours ago41 views

We aren’t your typical 9-to-5 kitchen. We’re a fast-moving catering team that handles everything from high-volume meal prep and corporate buffets to slinging street food on our food truck. If you love variety and hate being stuck in one spot, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Do:

  • The Foundation: Prep bulk ingredients for our weekly meal prep service (think lots of knife work and portioning).
  • The Event Pro: Load out equipment and prep proteins/sides for large-scale buffet service.
  • The Roadie: Jump on the food truck for local festivals and events—helping with setup, high-speed assembly, and breakdown.
  • The Clean Slate: Maintain a spotless station and follow all safety/sanitation guidelines.
    Who You Are:
  • Versatile: You’re comfortable shifting from precision meal-prep weighing to the fast-paced "rush" of a food truck window.
  • Experienced: At least 1 year of professional kitchen experience (prep or line).
  • Mobile: You can lift 50 lbs and stay on your feet for long shifts.
  • Reliable: You show up on time, every time. Our events depend on the whole team.
    Why Join Us?
  • Competitive Pay: $15/hour starting rate plus a share of event tips.
  • Great Perks: Free meals provided during every shift.
  • Future Planning: Accrued PTO begins after 6 months of employment.
  • Variety: No two days are the same—one day you're in the prep kitchen, the next you're at a music festival.
  • Growth: Real opportunities to move up
