What are the responsibilities and job description for the Experienced Cook - Full-Time position at Pinji's Cafe?
Experienced Cook — Pinji's Café (Wilmington, DE)
Pinji's Café is a family-owned, Korean-fusion breakfast and lunch spot in Wilmington's Trolley Square neighborhood. We're known for fresh, healthy, made-from-scratch food — breakfast bowls, sandwiches on focaccia and wraps, salads and soups, plus smoothies, bubble tea, and espresso drinks. We've built a loyal following and a warm, welcoming kitchen, and we're looking for one more great cook to grow with us.
This is a daytime job. We're closed by 5pm and you'll be home for dinner every night — no late closes, no bar crowd, no 1am cleanups.
What you'll do
- Prep and cook our breakfast and lunch menu to recipe, every time — bowls, sandwiches, salads, soups, and our Korean specialties like bulgogi
- Run your station cleanly and keep up during the morning and lunch rushes
- Follow food-safety and cleanliness standards (proper temps, storage, labeling, sanitizing)
- Help with prep, stocking, and keeping the kitchen organized and ready
- Work as a team with the rest of the crew and treat customers and coworkers with respect
- Help keep the kitchen clean and running smoothly — in a small team, everyone helps keep the stations and dishes moving.
What we're looking for
- 2 years of real cooking experience — line cook, prep cook, or similar — and the ability to run a station on your own
- Someone dependable and trustworthy. If you say you'll be there at 7, you're there at 6:50. This matters to us more than anything.
- Clean, fast, and consistent under pressure
- A good teammate with a good attitude — we're a small family business and the vibe matters
- Food handler / ServSafe card a plus (or willingness to get one)
- Legally authorized to work in the U.S.
- Weekend availability
What we offer
- $18–$20/hour, based on experience
- Daytime hours only — no nights
- Free or discounted meals on shift
- A stable, friendly, family-run kitchen where good work is noticed and appreciated
- Room to take on more responsibility over time
