• Keep the grill and surrounding workstations clean, organized, and safe throughout the shift
• Communicate with the team to keep orders moving efficiently
• Jump in and help other stations when needed

What We're Looking For

• Previous grill, line cook, BBQ, or restaurant cooking experience preferred

• Comfortable working around high heat and open-flame grills
• Able to lift up to 50 lbs
• Able to stand and work on your feet for extended periods
