What are the responsibilities and job description for the Line Cook/Prep Cook position at Red Door Fire Kitchen and Lounge?
Overview
Red Door Fire Kitchen Lounge is looking to add a reliable, hardworking, and passionate Prep / Line Cook to our drama-free kitchen team!
If you take pride in what you do, enjoy creating high-quality food, and thrive in a fast-paced, creative, and team-oriented environment, we’d love to have you join us.
Our kitchen is a little different from the traditional restaurant kitchen. Our wood-fired oven is our primary heat source, so you’ll have the opportunity to learn and work with open-fire cooking techniques while preparing everything from our pizzas to wood-fired entrées.
About the Role
We’re looking for someone who can jump in where needed—whether that means prepping ingredients, keeping stations stocked and organized, cooking on the line, working the wood-fired oven, or helping keep the kitchen clean and running smoothly.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to continue developing their cooking skills in a creative kitchen where quality, teamwork, and consistency matter.
Responsibilities
- Prepare ingredients and maintain organized, well-stocked stations
- Complete daily prep according to kitchen needs and standards
- Prepare and cook pizzas in our wood-fired oven
- Cook entrées over an open flame
- Prepare salads, appetizers, and other menu items

- Learn and properly operate our wood-fired oven and open-fire cooking equipment
- Maintain cleanliness and organization throughout the kitchen
- Follow all food safety, sanitation, and proper food-handling procedures
- Assist with opening, closing, cleaning, and kitchen maintenance
- Communicate and work effectively with the entire kitchen team
- Help maintain a smooth, efficient, and positive kitchen environment
Requirements
- Minimum 1 year of restaurant kitchen experience

- Ability to learn and adapt to a wood-fired, open-flame kitchen
- Reliable transportation and dependable attendance
- Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment

What We’re Looking For
We’re not looking for drama—we’re looking for someone who shows up, works hard, communicates, and wants to be part of a good team.
You don’t have to know everything on day one. We’re happy to teach the right person our cooking methods and help you become comfortable with our wood-fired kitchen. What matters most is that you’re reliable, willing to learn, work well with others, and care about the food you put out.
