We strongly encourage experienced burger cooks who have spent several years working directly with flat-top griddles, smash burgers, fryers, chicken breading, sauces, seasoning, prep, and high-volume burger assembly to apply. The person selected will become a leader of our cooking team and will be responsible for helping train cooks, maintain recipes and procedures, control food quality, and ensure consistent execution.

However, you should understand how professional restaurant sauces, seasonings, marinades and breading systems are developed, prepared, scaled and kept consistent. THIS IS A LEADERSHIP POSITION We are not simply hiring another line cook. You will be expected to: • Lead cooks during service, • Train new kitchen employees, • Teach proper burger cooking techniques, • Teach breading, frying and preparation procedures, • Ensure recipes and procedures are followed consistently, • Maintain consistent taste, appearance and portion size, • Organize daily prep, • Check station readiness before service, • Manage burger, fryer and prep stations, • Monitor food quality throughout service, • Identify and correct cooking mistakes, • Maintain kitchen cleanliness and sanitation, • Control unnecessary food waste, • Follow proper food storage, labeling and rotation procedures, • Help management improve kitchen workflow, • Maintain organization during high-volume rush periods, • Set a professional standard for the rest of the cooking team MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS 3+ years of professional burger-shop cooking experience REQUIRED.

Most importantly, you should understand consistency — every customer should receive the same high-quality product regardless of which cook is working the station. IDEAL CANDIDATE You are: • Highly experienced in burger restaurants, • Dependable and punctual, • Fast during high-volume service, • Clean and organized, • Quality-focused, • Food-safety conscious, • Comfortable leading other cooks, • Comfortable training employees, • A clear communicator, • Calm under pressure, • Serious about consistency, • Interested in growing with a new restaurant concept LOCATION Queens, New York The exact restaurant location and business details will be shared with qualified candidates during the interview process.
