• *Station Excellence:* Take full ownership of your station, from prep and organization to cleaning and breakdown.
• *Collaborative Hustle:* Work closely with the Chef and the rest of the line to navigate peak service times and large-scale event timelines smoothly.
• *Technical Precision:* Maintain high standards for food quality, presentation, and safety, regardless of the volume.

*What You Bring:*

• *Proven Experience:* A solid background in a professional, fast-paced kitchen (experience in both restaurant and banquet settings is a major asset).
• *Technical Skill:* Strong knife skills and a deep understanding of various cooking techniques (grill, sauté, large-batch prep).
• *Reliability & Energy:* A positive attitude and the stamina to stay sharp in a dynamic, multi-service environment.

*Why Join Us?*

We believe a high-performing team deserves high-level rewards:

• *Competitive Compensation:* A strong hourly wage that respects your experience.
