What are the responsibilities and job description for the Line Cook position at Cove Point Lodge?
Line Cook — Cove Point Lodge, Beaver Bay, MN
Perched on the shore of Lake Superior along Minnesota’s North Shore, Cove Point Lodge is a place where the natural world sets the tone for everything we do — including what’s on the plate. We’re looking for a skilled and grounded Line Cook who takes real pride in their craft and wants to be part of a kitchen team that cooks with intention. If you love food, thrive in a focused environment, and are drawn to life on the shore, we’d love to hear from you.
What You’ll Do:
- Execute menu items with consistency and care, following our recipes while bringing your own attention to detail to every dish
- Keep your station clean, organized, and ready — our kitchen runs best when everyone holds that standard
- Prep ingredients with precision and pride — the quality of what we serve starts long before it hits the plate
- Work closely with the team to keep service moving smoothly — communication and trust are what make a kitchen work
- Take ownership of quality — every plate that leaves our kitchen is a reflection of the Lodge
- Follow food safety standards and handle equipment properly — safety isn’t a checklist here, it’s a habit
- Support inventory and stock rotation so the kitchen always has what it needs when service starts
What We’re Looking For:
- Prior line cook experience or a strong background in a similar kitchen role
- Solid knowledge of food safety and sanitation practices
- Composure and efficiency during a push — our guests expect a great meal and you help deliver it
- Sharp attention to detail — you notice when something’s off and you fix it
- A genuine team mentality — you communicate clearly and show up for your fellow cooks
- Availability for varied shifts, including weekends and holidays — our busiest days are often the best ones
- Culinary training or certifications are a bonus, but real kitchen experience and a good attitude go a long way with us
Working at Cove Point Lodge means being part of something a little different. You’ll cook for guests who have traveled to be somewhere special — on the edge of Lake Superior, surrounded by the North Shore’s forests and rock face. We take that seriously in our kitchen. In return, we offer competitive wages, a collaborative team culture, and the chance to grow in a place where the work genuinely matters. If that sounds like your kind of kitchen, we want to meet you.
