Line Cook

We’re a busy San Francisco bar and lounge with a full food menu and a steady calendar of private events and full buyouts. We’re hiring two cooks, one for our hot line and one for our pantry station/oysters, to join a kitchen that cares about good food, clean stations, and a team that has each other’s backs during a rush!

The openings

• Hot line cook: Plancha, sauté, and fry during service and events
• Pantry and oyster bar cook: Salads, cold appetizers, dressings, plating desserts, and shucking and serving raw oysters for service.

What you’ll do

• Run your assigned station during service and events
• Prep and portion proteins, produce, sauces, and sides to spec
• Cook or plate to spec and get food out consistently and on time, for both à la carte service and large family-style and passed-appetizer events
• On pantry: shuck oysters cleanly and safely, build raw bar platters, and prepare mignonette and other accompaniments
• Handle shellfish properly, including tagging, temperature control, and storage
• Keep your station stocked, clean, and organized
• Follow food safety, labeling, and storage standards (FIFO, temp logs)
• Help keep the walk-in in order
• Communicate clearly with servers, bartenders, expo, and the kitchen team during service

What we’re looking for

• Fluent English (spoken and understood), needed for fast kitchen communication and safety calls
• 2+ year of kitchen experience on the hot line or pantry station (we’ll consider strong candidates with less)
• For pantry: oyster shucking experience preferred, and we’ll train the right candidate
• Solid knife skills and comfort in a fast-paced kitchen
• Calm and organized under pressure, including high-volume event nights
• Reliable: on time, ready to work, and a team player
• Food handler card (or willingness to get one within 30 days)
• Ability to stand for long shifts and lift up to 50 lbs

Schedule

• Full-time, Monday through Friday, 2:30 PM to 11:00 PM
• 30-minute unpaid meal break
• Occasional weekend shifts for private events and buyouts, scheduled in advance

Pay

• $21 per hour for the first 90 days
• Raise after 90 days, based on experience
