What are the responsibilities and job description for the Prep Cook position at Lily P's Wood Fired Pizza Co.?
Prep Cook – Lily P’s Wood Fired Pizza
Schenectady, NY | Full-Time (Preferred)
Lily P’s is an exciting new wood fired pizzeria that is making a big splash in the Capital Region by putting our culinary-driven spin on America's favorite food. We specialize in scratch-made pizza and classic American fare using fresh and high quality ingredients.
We’re looking for driven, respectful, and reliable individuals who take pride in their work and want to grow in a fast-paced, high-standard kitchen. You don’t need years of experience — but you do need the right mindset.
If you’re coachable, hardworking, and serious about becoming great in the kitchen, we’ll invest in you.
What Makes This Different
At Lily P's our culture and approach to running a food business is much different than what is typical in the industry. This is not a “just show up and cook” job. We search for people who are truly passionate about making exciting food, in a space where professionalism and respect for one another are a top priority. The chaotic and toxic culture of typical kitchen spaces are not a part of our company culture.
We are very selective with who we choose to join our team because we care about protecting our culture — and the people who join our team stay and grow with us.
What You’ll Do
- Prepare and cook menu items with consistency and attention to detail
- Execute prep work (chopping, slicing, portioning, etc.) efficiently
- Maintain a clean, organized, and food-safe kitchen environment
- Work closely with your team to ensure smooth service and timely orders
- Assist with high-volume prep for events and busy service periods
- Learn and improve daily — we expect progress, not perfection
What We’re Looking For
- Strong work ethic and reliability (this is non-negotiable)
- Respectful attitude and ability to take direction
- Willingness to learn and be coached
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-energy kitchen
- Attention to detail and pride in your work
Experience helps, but mindset matters more.
We’re open to developing the right person.
