Lead Line Cook

The Scottish Arms is currently seeking a Lead Line Cook to begin working with us in anticipation of our reopening later this summer. This position will be part time at first and then full time as we get closer to opening.

 This is a great opportunity to be involved from the ground up working with our GM to set up an efficient kitchen with excellent flow. Our focus is on creating a low-stress work environment by seeking ways to make things easier. Your input is wanted in creating that environment! "If the cooks are happy, everybody's happy" is our guiding philosophy. 

 This is also the perfect opportunity for someone with great teamwork and leadership skills who could just as well do without the stress of a full-on management position. Leave the sleepless nights and the tossing and turning to us.

· Contribute to recipe development and menu planning.

· Assist with kitchen workflow planning and set up.

· Participate in recruiting and interviewing the kitchen team.

· Train and direct kitchen staff, assign tasks, and ensure smooth workflow.

· Monitor food quality, consistency, and portion control.

· Work closely with GM to ensure inventory levels are where you need them to be and equipment needs are always met.

· Maintain positive and open communication with all owners including GM, front of house staff, and all kitchen personnel.

Skills and Qualifications:

· At least 2 years of experience as a line cook in a fast-paced kitchen environment.

· Strong understanding of cooking techniques, ingredients, and equipment.

· Ability to lead, delegate, and motivate team members.

· Excellent communication skills to effectively convey instructions and coordinate workflow in a positive, supportive environment.

· Ability to prioritize tasks, manage time effectively, and maintain a clean and organized work area.

· Knowledge of food safety and sanitation practices to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. (ServSafe certification will be required but we'll cover the cost if you're not up to date on that.)
