Lead Line Cook

The Beer Temple
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 8/7/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/7/2026
We are a growing, collaborative pizza program in partnership with Middle Brow specializing in Detroit-style pizza entering our second year in operation and we are looking to a lead line cook to our team!

The menu here evolves with the seasons and what's available from regional farms, with the addition of specials for frequent brewery events.

So, if you have a passion for pizza, sourdough, and local produce, this may be just the place for you!

Ideal candidates have good attention to detail and comfort working in/communicating within a team. We're particularly excited about candidates with a passion for pizza (Detroit-style a plus!), and a desire to work in a place like The Beer Temple - a place renowned for elevating craft beer in a non-pretentious way. We love to have fun, be goofy at times, but always while providing top-level experience. Any background in dough work (especially sourdough) is a big plus!

Lead line cooks should expect to work roughly 40 hours/week, with a share of tips typically equaling $2-$4 per hour.

This is an entry leadership position, with potential for growth as business demands dictate.

Responsibilities:
  • Preparing meals and food to meet the specifications of ownership and management in a timely manner
  • Ensure kitchen staff adhere to set standards, procedures, department rules and sanitation requirements
  • Maintain line stations to ensure they are set up, stocked, and broken down on a daily basis. 
  • Taking charge of kitchen opening, closing and other duties, delegating as needed.
  • Assist in the training of BOH Staff members.
  • Communicating with management regarding status of above job duties in a timely and professional manner
  • Assist in quality control and adherence to specifications as an additional set of eyes on the line, especially at expo.
Benefits
  • Health Insurance provided by Blue Cross Blue Shield with 70% employer contribution.
  • 12 days of paid time off (PTO) earned on an accrual basis
  • 401(k) with 50% match up to 6%
