What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chef Instructor- Part Time position at Food Lab?
Part-Time Chef Instructor
Food Lab is looking for experienced chefs to join our Boulder and Denver teams part time.
This is a different kind of chef job. Our Chef Instructors lead hands-on cooking classes and private events, working directly with guests as they cook their way through a Food Lab menu. You’ll demonstrate techniques, answer questions, keep multiple cooking stations moving, and make sure everyone has a great experience.
We have established menus, recipes, prep lists, and systems for how our classes run. You’ll learn those systems, execute them consistently, and bring your own personality and cooking experience to the room.
Professional kitchen experience is required. Evening and weekend availability is required.
What You’ll Do
- Lead hands-on cooking classes and private events using Food Lab menus, recipes, and systems
- Own each class from prep and setup through teaching, breakdown, and cleanup
- Demonstrate cooking techniques and guide guests through preparing the menu
- Manage the timing and flow of multiple cooking stations
- Maintain Food Lab standards for food quality, sanitation, and food safety
Who We’re Looking For
You need to be a strong cook who also enjoys working with people. You’ll spend a lot of time in front of guests—explaining techniques, answering questions, keeping the room moving, and making cooking approachable and fun.
We’re looking for someone with professional kitchen experience, strong cooking and knife skills, and a solid understanding of kitchen operations. You should be organized, comfortable leading a group, reliable, and able to take ownership of a class from start to finish.
Food Handler/ServSafe and Alcohol Serving certification is required, or must be obtained before starting.
Schedule
This is a part-time position at our Boulder or Denver location. Shifts are based on our public class and private-event calendar, with evening and weekend availability required.
If you love cooking, enjoy being around people, and want a chef job that’s social, hands-on, and a little different, we’d love to hear from you.
