Job Description

Seedbol Kitchen is looking for a strong, reliable, and experienced Kitchen Team Member – Cook / Prep Cook who takes pride in working in a clean, organized, and efficient kitchen.

This is an important, hands-on kitchen position and not an entry-level role. We are looking for someone with solid cooking and prep experience, good knife skills, speed, consistency, and the ability to work independently without constant supervision.

You will be responsible for preparing food, completing high-volume prep, maintaining kitchen stations, and making sure food quality, cleanliness, and organization meet our standards throughout your shift.

A Different Kind of Kitchen

This is not a typical hot, stressful restaurant kitchen.

At Seedbol Kitchen, we operate a clean, modern, and comfortable workspace:

• No gas
• No fryers
• No grills
• Fully electric kitchen
• Light and well-organized workspace
• Simple, system-based recipes
• Structured and predictable workflow
• No late-night shifts

No extreme heat. No heavy grease. No traditional restaurant chaos.

Our kitchen is focused primarily on prep, cooking, maintaining stations, and keeping food ready for service, rather than constantly cooking individual ticket orders.

This creates a more organized and controlled working environment while still requiring speed, attention to detail, and strong kitchen skills.

Responsibilities

• Perform high-volume food prep, including cutting and preparing vegetables and other ingredients
• Cook and prepare food according to Seedbol Kitchen recipes and standards
• Follow recipes accurately and maintain consistent food quality
• Complete daily prep lists on time
• Maintain and refill kitchen stations throughout the shift
• Perform line checks and make sure stations are properly stocked and organized
• Maintain proper food rotation and follow FIFO procedures
• Receive and properly store deliveries when needed
• Maintain high food safety and sanitation standards
• Follow daily and weekly cleaning checklists
• Keep kitchen equipment, prep areas, coolers, and storage areas clean and organized
• Communicate with other kitchen and front-of-house team members
• Identify prep shortages or kitchen issues before they affect service
• Wash dishes and assist with overall kitchen sanitation as needed
• Help keep the kitchen fully prepared and running smoothly throughout the shift
