JOB OVERVIEW

Looking for:
Someone that is not afraid to put in the time and effort to make themselves and those around them better!
A person that gets pissed off when they hear a fellow cook say “well, it’s good enough.”
That tough, old-school mentality, that doesn’t accept poor weather or early starts as a reason to miss work.
Who comes to work even if feeling a bit unwell to at least try and make it through their shift!
That checks (most) of their ego at the door and is smart enough to ask for help and take direction with a willingness to learn new ways of doing things!
If you want to be trained and learn from a Chef that has put in the time and has a passion for teaching all he knows, Our Corporate Chef will see to it that you are better skilled than when you walked in the door. If you are wanting to work at a place that will keep that passion for culinary alive, then let’s talk!
At Bountiful Chef, our kitchen culture is not something you will find everyday! We joke, we laugh and listen to music. But we also look out for one another and hold ourselves to a higher standard of getting things done to the best of our abilities! Half assed effort, need not apply!
Bountiful Chef is looking for a solid First Cook that can hold his/her own! Fast paced, upbeat, zero drama, and all about good food and good people. You will be responsible for opening the kitchen (6:30am start). Cooking product for a hot lunch school program catering to private schools to the Calgary Catholic School Board. Ages 4 to grade 12.
Your duties range from opening the kitchen, to prep, to dishes, to cleanup. Outside of the kitchen, you will be responsible for food delivery to some of the schools. Valid Driver’s License is a must! Will be supplied a company vehicle to use so a drivers abstract and police background check with vulnerable sector search will be asked for upon hire. Must provide background check at own expense, to be reimbursed after being with the company for 6 months.
Must be reliable to show up at 6:30am in the Chinook Mall area on Macleod! If you can’t be there for 6:30am, do not apply. Shift will go to around 3pm. Monday to Friday. Will be extra hours available to help with catering and banquets as well on weekends. This position does not require a lot of experience but solid foundational skills are a must! A willingness to learn and be taught is a must.
This is an all-encompassing kitchen position. You will be doing a bit of most everything throughout your shift, so being able to speak and understand good English and reliably take direction is a must! Not looking for a yes person- I want someone that can think for themselves and have common sense. Asking questions if you don’t fully understand what is being asked of you is welcome.
$16/hr Full Time. Meals provided and proper training. Room for advancement and chances for O.T. Must be able to start 1st week of September (September 2)
