About the Job
The Barn Cafe is looking for a versatile kitchen worker who can handle a little bit of everything. We are a busy breakfast and lunch spot, and we need someone who can knock out a heavy morning prep list, crush a fast lunch rush, and take real pride in making a great sandwich. This isn't a factory line job where you do one repetitive task. You'll be prepping, cooking on the flat-top, assembling orders, and keeping the kitchen moving.
We also need someone who knows their way around a soup pot. We do our daily soups from scratch, and we need someone who can look at what ingredients we have on hand and whip up a great soup completely "off the cuff" without needing a strict recipe book.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Banging out prep: Slicing meats, chopping veggies, portioning ingredients, and keeping the sandwich line fully stocked before the doors open.
- Handling the rush: Keeping your head cool and tickets flying when the rush hits. Speed and organization are key here.
- Building great sandwiches: Making sure every hot panini, wrap, and breakfast sandwich looks great, tastes right, and isn't thrown together sloppily.
- Making soup from scratch: Using your culinary intuition to invent and cook flavorful daily soups using fresh, seasonal ingredients.
- General kitchen teamwork: Jumping in on dishes, restocking stations, and keeping the workspace clean as you go.
What We’re Looking For:
- Drama-free mindset: We keep a positive, respectful workspace. You leave personal life drama, politics, bad attitudes, and foul language at home.
- Kitchen experience: Minimum of 2-4 years experience working in a fast paced kitchen
- Real cooking skills: You know how to season food properly and can make a scratch soup on the fly.
- Speed and stamina: You can move fast, multi-task, and stay focused when it gets chaotic.
- Reliability: You show up on time for your morning shifts ready to work.
