You do more than follow a recipe. A lot more. Because the food you create could be a mood-changer. Maybe even a day changer. Something delicious that ignites our guests’ taste buds just enough to take their minds off their problems - if even for a few minutes.

A Denny’s Cook has a “Guests First" attitude, preparing guest selections, following set recipes, & brand standards, presenting it on a great looking plate, all while maintaining a clean and sanitary work environment.

Cooks also:

  • Honor guest requests for special orders.

  • Correctly call the wheel.

  • Clean, complete side work, and organize supplies as required.

  • Monitor waste and other food cost controls.

  • Willingly assist other team members without being asked.

  • Provide total guest satisfaction.

What’s in it for you? Flexible schedules and shifts available, competitive pay, opportunities for personal and professional growth, and training programs that are the best in the industry. Team members can also earn benefits, paid vacations, meal discounts, health/welfare benefits and a 401K savings program, depending on eligibility.

If you have a passion for food and like working with people; come join our talented team!
