Prep Cook - Garde Manger and Catering Production

The Prep Cook, Garde Manger & Catering Production is a hands-on culinary position responsible for supporting the Sous Chef and commissary culinary team in the preparation, assembly, and presentation of food for catered events.

The primary focus of this role is completing the daily preparation necessary to produce beautiful platters, trays, displays, appetizers, and other garde manger offerings for both live catered events and drop-off/disposable catering.

This individual must be able to follow recipes and direction accurately, maintain consistent portioning and quality, work with a sense of urgency, and take pride in the appearance of the finished product. As skills develop, the Prep Cook will take on increasing responsibility for assembling and finishing presentations according to established standards.

Success in this position requires a strong work ethic, attention to detail, organization, communication, and a genuine desire to improve. While garde manger will be the employee's primary area of focus, this position is part of a larger commissary team, and the employee will be cross-trained to assist other production areas as needed.
