John and Karen Shields' The Loyalist is expanding its BOH team. We're looking for an experienced AM prep cook for a full time position focusing on the production of one of America's most-lauded burgers. Duties include prep production, receiving orders for quality, putting away orders, and cross-training on stations. The Loyalist menu introduces French technique to a dynamic neighborhood restaurant. Our 80-seat dining room serves up to 300 guests in a service, so understanding of organization and time management is key.
