Grand Rapids, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 1/12/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/8/2026

Do you thrive on the line—steady, composed, and relentless about doing things the right way every single time?


grove, part of Essence Hospitality Group (alongside Bistro Bella Vita and Lucy’s), is seeking a Line Cook who brings discipline, consistency, and pride to a high-performing, professional kitchen.


At grove, we focus on ingredient-driven, from-scratch cooking with seasonal menus rooted in Michigan’s farmers and producers. Our Line Cooks are essential to that mission. They are the backbone of service—executing with precision, maintaining standards, and supporting the team through focus and follow-through.


What We Offer


  • Competitive wages with advancement opportunities within Essence Hospitality

  • Shared medical, vision, and dental coverage (for eligible employees)

  • Paid leave and dining discounts across all Essence Hospitality restaurants

  • Discounted health club memberships and additional lifestyle benefits

  • A respectful, professional, and inclusive kitchen culture


What You’ll Do


  • Execute dishes consistently across assigned stations during lunch and dinner service

  • Maintain mise en place standards that support speed, accuracy, and readiness

  • Work collaboratively across the line to ensure smooth, well-paced service

  • Uphold grove’s standards for seasoning, texture, temperature, and presentation

  • Keep your station clean, organized, and service-ready at all times

  • Support the chef team with prep, setup, and breakdown as needed


What We’re Looking For


  • Prior experience in a professional kitchen (experience on any line station required; sauté experience a plus)

  • Strong foundational cooking skills and a commitment to learning and growth

  • Ability to stay focused in a fast-paced environment without sacrificing quality

  • Dependable, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure

  • A team-oriented mindset with clear communication and pride in execution


grove is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. Employment is at-will.
