What We’re Looking For  Previous professional cooking experience in catering, banquet, restaurant, hotel, or another production kitchen.  Strong knife skills and knowledge of basic cooking methods.  Ability to follow recipes accurately and prepare food in larger quantities.  Ability to prioritize tasks and complete assignments without repeated reminders.  Good judgment about when to solve a routine problem and when to consult the chef.  Consistent attendance, clear communication, and a cooperative attitude.  Ability to work safely in a busy kitchen and perform essential duties, with reasonable accommodation as needed.
