What are the responsibilities and job description for the Haven Hot Chicken — Chicken Production Team Member (Back of House) Newington, CT position at Haven Hot Chicken?
At Haven Hot Chicken, we’re obsessed with doing one thing better than anyone else — making the best hot chicken in New England. We are hiring individuals whose only focus is production and kitchen execution.
This is not a customer-facing position — you won’t run a register or work the counter. You’ll be the engine behind the operation.
If you enjoy cooking, staying busy, working with a team, and taking pride in doing things the right way — this job is for you.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
You will handle everything that goes into producing Haven Hot Chicken:
Chicken Production
- Handling raw chicken, racking, marinating, breading, and frying.
- Following strict recipe and cook procedures
- Maintaining consistency and quality every batch
- Managing production numbers
Kitchen Prep
- Preparing sides, sauces, and ingredients
- Establishing and maintaining proper par levels
Cleanliness & Organization
- Dishes and kitchen sanitation
- Deep cleaning tasks and closing procedures
- Keeping a safe and organized workspace
What We’re Looking For
We are NOT looking for someone to just “work a shift.” We’re looking for people who want to be great. Our chicken is fresh, not frozen, and the process to get it from raw breast/tender, to Crispy, Crunchy, Juicy, Spicy, Delicious, takes a lot of effort and care… and that requires being great!
You’ll be a great fit if you:
- Move with urgency and stay busy
- Take pride in doing things correctly every time
- Can handle a fast-paced kitchen environment
- Are reliable and punctual
- Work well with others and communicate clearly
- Have kitchen experience (preferred but not required — we train)
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive hourly pay
- Hourly tip share
- Consistent schedule
- Growth opportunities as Haven expands
Schedule
The restaurants overall volume will ultimately predicate the number of hours required, but this job starts every day between 7-8am.
