Position Overview

Nanna’s House, also known as Nanna’s Cafe & Bread Company, is Rapid City’s dedicated gluten-free restaurant and bakery. We are looking for an experienced Part-Time Line Cook / Prep Cook to join our growing kitchen team.

This is a hands-on position for someone with previous professional kitchen experience who can work efficiently during breakfast and lunch service while also handling daily food prep responsibilities. We need someone who understands the importance of speed, consistency, cleanliness, communication, and teamwork.

Our Line Cooks are expected to work as a team, follow direction from the Kitchen Manager and Head Chef, and maintain Nanna’s House standards every shift.

Job Duties & Responsibilities

• Properly operate flat tops, fryers, ovens, grills, and other commercial kitchen equipment.
• Prepare pizzas, appetizers, sandwiches, and other hot-line menu items.
• Fry and finish donuts as assigned.
• Maintain proper portioning, presentation, and recipe consistency.

Food Prep & Production

• Complete assigned daily prep lists before and during service.
• Prep meats, vegetables, sauces, fillings, batters, doughs, and other ingredients.
• Portion, label, date, and properly store prepared foods.
• Maintain appropriate pars so stations are stocked and ready for service.
• Follow Nanna’s House recipes and production procedures consistently.
• Follow FIFO procedures and assist with reducing unnecessary food waste.

• Follow Nanna’s House’s strict gluten-free procedures at all times.
• Protect the integrity of our dedicated gluten-free facility by following all ingredient, storage, preparation, and handling requirements.

Teamwork & Accountability

• Work as part of the kitchen team and communicate clearly with cooks, prep staff, dishwashers, servers, and management.
• Follow direction from the Kitchen Manager and Head Chef.

• Be prepared and ready to work at the scheduled start time.
• Maintain a sense of urgency without sacrificing food quality or safety.
• Take responsibility for the cleanliness, organization, stocking, and performance of your station.
• Maintain a professional attitude and contribute to a respectful, team-focused kitchen environment.

Required Qualifications

Previous professional line cook or commercial kitchen experience is required. Applicants should have breakfast and egg-cooking experience or be able to demonstrate strong line-cooking ability. Candidates must be comfortable using commercial kitchen equipment, completing production prep, following recipes, working under pressure, and handling multiple tickets simultaneously.

Strong knife skills, good communication, reliability, punctuality, attention to detail, and the ability to work as a team player are essential. Previous gluten-free kitchen experience is helpful but not required—we will train the right experienced cook on Nanna’s House gluten-free procedures.

Schedule

This is a part-time position. Availability for early mornings, breakfast and lunch shifts, weekends, and busy service periods may be required. Scheduled hours may vary based on business needs.
