We're looking for dependable, detail-oriented cooks to join our dedicated team within CookUnity's Brooklyn production kitchen. This is an opportunity to work with recipes developed by one of the world's most recognized chefs in a professional, collaborative, high-volume culinary environment.

• Plate and portion finished meals accurately, maintaining consistency in presentation, portion sizes, and overall quality.

• Perform daily ingredient preparation, including washing, cutting, measuring, and organizing ingredients for production.

• Operate commercial kitchen equipment safely and efficiently in a shared production kitchen.

• Coordinate with fellow cooks and kitchen leadership to meet daily production targets and timelines.

• Maintain clean, organized, and sanitary workstations, equipment, and preparation areas.

• Follow all food safety, sanitation, temperature-control, and food-handling procedures, including Southern Coals and CookUnity operating standards.

• Monitor food quality throughout preparation and cooking, promptly communicating any issues or inconsistencies.

• Assist with kitchen setup, cleaning, and other production-related tasks as needed.

CookUnity handles the sealing, packaging, and distribution of finished meals. Our team is responsible for preparing, cooking, and plating the food.

• Previous professional cooking experience, preferably at least 1–2 years.

• Experience in high-volume food preparation, catering, banquets, commissary kitchens, or restaurant kitchens is highly valued.

• Strong basic culinary skills, including knife handling, food preparation, cooking techniques, and recipe execution.

• Ability to follow detailed recipes and production specifications consistently.

• Attention to detail, particularly in portioning, plating, food quality, and presentation.

• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, team-oriented kitchen environment.

• Reliability, punctuality, flexibility, and a positive, collaborative attitude.

• Ability to stand for extended periods and perform the physical tasks associated with commercial kitchen work.

• Availability for scheduled shifts, including weekends.

• An ANAB-accredited Food Handler Certificate, or willingness to obtain one before beginning food-handling duties.

• Spanish-language skills are welcome; English or Spanish communication skills sufficient for safe and effective teamwork.
