What You'll Do

Chop, mix, portion, and prepare sauces, sides, and ingredients to exact recipes and specs. Label, date, and rotate product the right way, keep your area spotless, and set the line up to win before the doors open. Scratch cooking lives or dies on prep. Here, it lives.

Who You Are

You're precise, consistent, and take quiet pride in work most guests never see but every guest tastes. No experience required. We'll teach you the JNN way.

What We Give You

  • Competitive pay and flexible schedules
  • Discounted meals (you'll be eating well)
  • Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), employer-paid life insurance, and vacation for eligible team members

  • Real advancement, from the line to pitmaster to kitchen manager and beyond

Our Values: Be Honest. Be Respectful. Be Committed. Be Disciplined. Be Supportive.

These requirements reflect the essential functions of the role and may be performed with or without reasonable accommodation.
