Flexible Cook willing to work weekends, holidays and evenings. Comfortable working in fast-paced environments in team setting. Background in maintaining kitchen sanitation, preparing basic components of dishes and working within team of cooks.
My duties include having knowledge of all the menu items as well as to properly handle, prepare and cook the menu items. Other duties also include being knowledgeable on how to operate the equipment on the line as well as keeping the kitchen and its surrounding areas including the freezer and walk-in cooler and dry storage along with floors clean of trash/empty boxes and keeping surfaces clean and properly sanitized. Making sure prep work is done for both the current and incoming shifts along with restocking the line are also another one of my duties so as to ensure that food items do not run out and cooks do not need to leave the line to gather items during busy dining times. Keeping track of temperatures and general operability of our equipment is another task we are all in charge of as to ensure food, staff and customer safety. I've learned how to operate each station and its given responsibilities on the line incase I'm needed somewhere I can easily rotate and manage that station. I've also learned how to both open and close the kitchen which include setting up the line for breakfast then lunch and finally cleaning and resetting the line after dinner so its ready for the breakfast shift. Expediting and running food to customers is also something that extends to cooks and I can fulfill either role if staff isn't available or needs help.
Was tasked with preparing the food products as well as assembling the orders as they came in. I was also tasked with cleaning the line after store hours along with emptying trash bins, cleaning and mopping floors and the restrooms and doing dishes if they needed to be done.
Was primairly tasked with finding products throughout the store and taking them into the back where I then proceeded to log the products and package them accordingly. Other duties included loading pallets of packaged product onto a truck, some minimal re-stocking of shelves, restocking empty packing stations with boxes and packing materials, and helping out customers during the times I was working during open store hours.
