Soul & Smoke is Hiring an Experienced Lead Line Cook - Mostly Weekends/Evenings Near Chicago, IL
At Soul & Smoke, we treat barbecue with the reverence it deserves. We have consumed with the details: the meat-to-bone ratio on our ribs, the creaminess of our mac and cheese, and the combination of spices in Chef Carter’s signature sauce.
We are seeking an experienced, capable and reliable lead prep/line cook to join the team at our pop-up kiosk at Rockwell on the River. This Soul & Smoke outlet in Avondale requires a skill set strong enough to carry out line prep, execute line orders and interact with customers in this open, client-facing kitchen. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated, detail-oriented, energetic cook with strong time management and communication skills. Leadership experience is required.
Because our success depends upon the dedication of our employees, we are highly selective in choosing new members of our team. We take pride in the quality of our food and service — you will be an important member of a team effort. This location gets busy in the spring/summer with customers taking advantage of the riverfront patio space. We will also build out a bar and full restaurant at the location this year.
