Experienced Lead Line Cook - Customer-Facing, Mostly Weekends/Evenings
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. 
Job Responsibilities: 
  • Work together with day manager to lead team and ensure quality standards are met.
  • Set up and stock stations daily with necessary food and supplies.
  • Prepare food items by cutting, chopping, mixing, smoking, grilling, sautéing, and other cooking methods according to specified recipes and standards.
  • Maintain cleanliness that complies with food sanitation requirements by properly handling food, ensuring correct storage, and keeping station and equipment clean and organized.
  • Perform inventory checks and complete food storage logs as required, order ingredients/supplies from Evanston flagship kitchen as needed.
  • Prep and send out dine-in and to-go orders in a fast-paced setting.
  • Communicate with Soul & Smoke management, Kiosk Lead, customers, and coworkers in a proactive and professional manner.
  • Help train new staff.
  • Maintain a positive, empathetic, and professional attitude.
  • Wash and put away dishes.
  • There are also FOH duties in the role at this pop-up, taking orders and maintaining the dining room.
Requirements: 
  • Must have the ability to work evenings and weekends and be flexible when necessary.
  • 3 years of line/prep experience - some fine dining preferred.
  • Leadership/management experience required.
  • Food manager's certificate required.
  • Reliable and timely.
  • Ability to multitask and keep organized.
  • Ability to walk/stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 pounds.
  • Ability to work autonomously and as part of a team.
  • COVID vaccination is preferred.
Pay/Benefits:
  • JOB TYPE/DAYS: Full-time. Regular schedule would be afternoon/evening shift Wednesday - Sunday, though some flexibility is possible.
  • PAY: $19-23 per hour, plus pooled tips (usually $3-6 per hour additional), potential to move to salary in the near term.
  • BENEFITS: Staff meals are provided each shift, plus 50% dining discounts. Paid sick leave. Health/dental insurance, Aflac plans, and Illinois Secure Choice Roth IRA retirement savings plans available after 90 days.
