What are the responsibilities and job description for the Scratch Kitchen Teammate position at Clem's Kitchen?
Cook / Kitchen Team Member - Clem's Kitchen – Middletown, VA
This isn't a typical restaurant kitchen.
We don't believe the best restaurants are built around egos or hierarchy. They're built around people who show up every day ready to learn, help each other, and make incredible food.
At Clem's Kitchen, we cook from scratch. We don't cook by recipes—we cook by taste. Every plate matters, and every person on the team has a hand in making it better.
If you're looking for a place where you'll only work one station, this probably isn't the job for you.
If you're looking for a place where you'll constantly learn, teach, and grow alongside your teammates, keep reading.
Who We Are
We're a scratch kitchen focused on quality, hospitality, and teamwork.
Everyone contributes.
Everyone learns.
Everyone teaches.
You'll prep vegetables one minute, plate entrées the next, wash dishes when they need washing, jump on the line during a rush, and help unload a delivery if that's what's needed.
No job is beneath anyone—including the owners.
We don't believe in "that's not my job."
We believe in "How can I help?"
