Operate and properly clean cooking and kitchen equipment and supplies. Where You've Been: You have a high school diploma or equivalent and at least 1 year's experience as a prep line/cook. Most importantly, you're someone who is capable of thinking on their feet and able to keep up in high-pressure situations. If that sounds like you, go ahead and apply.
