PROFESSIONAL LINE COOK WANTED
Monk’s Café is seeking a motivated line cook for a full-time position. Please forward a copy of your résumé to monkscafephilly97@gmail.com if you are a detail-oriented cook with several years of line cook experience.
Monkʼs Café has been rated an Excellent dining experience by the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Craig Laban, earning a “3 Bell” rating in October 2018. You will work alongside talented chefs in a very busy environment, so you must be able to work efficiently under pressure.
You must be able to work both quickly and accurately, but more importantly, you must have a helpful demeanor. We are all here to make our guests’ visit a wonderful experience. No attitude, no tantrums, no FOH vs. BOH bullshit, and no Prima Donnas. Most of our coworkers have been working here for over 10 years. If you’re up for a challenge, this could be the home for you.
REQUIREMENTS
This is not just a job – this can be a rewarding career for a motivated person.
Serious, professional, culinary candidates only, please.
Please email your resume as an attachment as a Microsoft Word or PDF document. Including your résumé in the body of your emailed response, in addition to the attachment, will be helpful. We will follow up on your references and then contact qualified applicants to set up interviews.
This a full-time, five-day working week, that will average nearly 40 hours per week. We serve our full menu from 11:30 AM until 11 PM every night (Closed Thanksgiving, December 24th, December 25th and whenever our beloved Eagles are in the Super Bowl).
We will provide you with a set schedule so you can have a life outside of work, but we may occasionally need you to cover an additional shift. Our kitchen closes at 11 PM and you are expected to help clean every surface, every shift. Think about your transportation home – can you catch a train, or bus, ride a bicycle, or take a Taxi/Lyft/Uber between 11:30 PM and Midnight?
Non-smoker preferred. This is a professional kitchen – not a party kitchen. We are looking for a self-starter who can be motivated by their coworkers and perhaps even motivate them.
Compensation includes paid vacation, sick days, staff meals, staff discounts, health insurance contributions, plus a solid starting pay rate. Are you up to the challenge? If so, please submit your résumé to monkscafephilly97@gmail.com
