• Follow recipes and portion sizes to maintain consistency and reduce food waste.
• Follow proper food storage, labeling, rotation, and food-safety practices.
• Keep both stations clean, organized, and ready for service.
• Complete opening, prep, and closing checklists, including closing cleanup.
• Communicate with front counter staff and kitchen coworkers to keep orders moving accurately and efficiently.
• Work independently when needed and help the team during busy periods.

REQUIREMENTS

• Strong professional pizza-making experience AND kitchen/line cook experience.
• Willingness and ability to work both stations based on business needs.
• Ability to work quickly under pressure while maintaining quality.
• Reliability, punctuality, and consistent attendance.
