AM Prep Cook — Kasama

Wednesday–Sunday, 8:00am–~6:00pm
On-site kitchen + commissary (rotating)

The role

Kasama is hiring an AM prep cook to work across our restaurant kitchen and our commissary. This is the backbone of a high-volume daytime cafe and bakery: the prep team breaks down several hundred pounds of protein a week, runs bulk cooking, keeps the commissary and general storage organized and inventoried, and moves product between the two sites. You'll rotate between locations as the week demands.

What you'll do
  • Execute the daily prep list to spec and on time — knife work, vegetable and protein prep, mise for the line
  • Butcher and portion protein at volume: breaking down, trimming, portioning, labeling and storing
  • Bulk cooking at the commissary — stocks, braises, sauces, and base preparations for both sites
  • Maintain the commissary: cleanliness, equipment, rotation, and a station you'd be proud to hand off
  • Organize and inventory general storage — dry goods, walk-ins, freezers — and flag shortages early
  • Help load, transport and unload product between the commissary and the restaurant, holding temps and labeling correctly
  • Communicate clearly with the chef, the line, and the rest of the prep team
What we're looking for
  • Solid fundamentals: confident knife skills, basic cooking methods, reading and scaling a recipe
  • Strong organization and time management — you can work a long prep list without being told twice
  • Clear communication and the discipline to label, date, rotate, and clean without being asked
  • Comfortable with physical work: lifting cases and whole proteins, standing all shift
  • Butchery experience is a plus, not a requirement. We train well
  • Valid driver's license is a plus
  • Familiarity with Filipino cooking is a plus, not a requirement
  • No minimum experience required — but this is a competitive kitchen for experienced prep cooks who want to grow
What you get
  • Competitive wage
  • Health insurance benefits
  • Wednesday–Sunday schedule with two consecutive days off
  • Daytime hours in a serious kitchen
