Line Cook

The Loyalist
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 9/1/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/19/2026
John and Karen Shields' The Loyalist is expanding its back-of-house team. We're looking for an experienced line cook for a full time position. Duties include daily ownership over the preparation and ordering of your station's ingredients. Our cooks work a variety of stations, learning the techniques going into different components of each dish, under the mentorship of John Shields & Executive Chef Brian Francis.

The Loyalist menu introduces French technique to a dynamic neighborhood restaurant that also happens to serve one of the best burgers in the US. While we are well-known for our cheeseburger, the menu is intricate and very seasonal, following the same philosophy as our three-Michelin-star sister restaurant. Our 80-seat dining room serves 200-250 guests in a service, so understanding of organization and time management is key. This is a dynamic environment, so flexibility and a positive attitude are necessary to be successful in this position.

Hourly rate is $20 per hour plus a portion of a culinary service charge which amounts to roughly $24 an hour. Company-subsidized health insurance is available to all full-time employees after 30 days of employment. This position is roughly 45 hours per week, with 401k program eligibility after one year.

Salary : $20 - $24
