What are the responsibilities and job description for the The Daily Beet is Looking for a Line Cook position at The Daily Beet?
Daily Beet Back of House Line Cook
Come cook food you're proud of with people who have your back.
The Daily Beet started as a little juice cart in New Orleans. Over the last 10 years, we've grown into a handful of cafés, but we've tried hard not to lose what made people love us in the first place.
We make food from scratch. We use clean ingredients, skip the seed oils, and actually care about what goes on every plate. We're proud of what we serve, and we're looking for someone who wants to be proud of the food they cook, too.
We're not a kitchen where people yell at each other or play the blame game. We work hard, we stay busy, and we help each other out. At the end of the day, we want people to enjoy coming to work.
What matters to us
Kitchen experience is great, but attitude matters even more.
We're looking for someone who:
- Shows up on time and ready to work.
- Keeps a positive attitude, even when the lunch rush hits.
- Notices when a teammate needs help and jumps in without being asked.
- Takes pride in making food that looks as good as it tastes.
- Cares about keeping a clean, organized kitchen.
- Treats everyone with respect—from coworkers to guests to delivery drivers.
- Wants to learn, get better, and be part of a team.
If you're dependable, work hard, and care about doing things the right way, we'll teach you the rest.
What you'll be doing
Every day looks a little different, but you'll spend your time:
- Preparing bowls, salads, sauces, grains, vegetables, and proteins.
- Following recipes so every guest gets the same quality every time.
- Keeping your station stocked, clean, and organized.
- Helping with prep, catering orders, and whatever else the kitchen needs.
- Working alongside the front-of-house team to keep service running smoothly.
- Pitching in wherever needed because that's just how good teams work.
What we're looking for
- Kitchen or line cook experience is a plus, but not required.
- Someone who can stay organized and move with a sense of urgency.
- Comfortable working on your feet in a fast-paced kitchen.
- Able to lift up to 50 pounds.
- Must be open to closing shifts, getting out no later than 9 pm
What you'll get
- Competitive hourly pay plus tips.
- Free meal every shift.
- Opportunities to grow with us. Several of our managers started in entry-level positions.
- A team that genuinely enjoys working together.
