We are seeking a talented, high-energy, and dependable Line Cook to join our elite back-of-house team. You will be responsible for prepping and executing high-quality, authentic Caribbean dishes with speed, precision and consistency. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, maintains a cool head under pressure (even during unexpected infrastructure challenges) and takes immense pride in their craftsmanship.
Core Responsibilities
Execute the Menu: Prepare and cook high-quality dishes according to Charm’s recipes, portion controls and presentation specifications. You will routinely handle signature items including our Rasta Pasta, Stewed Oxtail, Jerk Chicken, Griot and our fan-favorite Mac & Cheese.
Station Prep & Setup: Set up and stock kitchen stations with all necessary supplies and prep ingredients ahead of heavy lunch, dinner and weekend brunch shifts.
Maintain Culinary Integrity: Ensure every plate leaving the line meets our "5-star" standard for temperature, flavor, and visual appeal.
Kitchen Adaptability: Demonstrate problem-solving skills and flexibility during high-volume periods or sudden changes in kitchen logistics.
Safety & Sanitation: Maintain a clean, organized and sanitary workstation in accordance with New York City Department of Health (DOHMH) standards and company policies. Clean and sanitize equipment at the end of every shift.
Team Collaboration: Communicate effectively with front-of-house staff (hostess, servers and bartenders) to ensure seamless, timely ticket execution.
Qualifications & Skills
Experience: Minimum of 1–2 years of experience as a Line Cook or Prep Cook in a high-volume, full-service restaurant. Experience with Caribbean cuisine or bold flavor profiles is a major plus but not required.
Technical Skills: Strong knife skills and proficiency with various kitchen equipment (grills, fryers, sauté stations and skillets).
Speed & Stamina: Ability to work quickly and efficiently under pressure while maintaining attention to detail. Must be able to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs.
Schedule Flexibility: Ability to work a flexible schedule, including nights, weekends (essential for our busy brunch shifts) and holidays.
Certifications: NYC Food Protection Certificate is preferred (or must be willing to obtain within 30 days of hire).
