Line Cook

Line Cook (Pizza & Sauté) — Square Peg Pizzeria, Preston Square Peg isn't in the food business. We're in the business of making people feel like they belong here — and that starts on the line. The guest never sees you, but they feel you in every plate: the pie that hits the table hot and right, the sauté dish that looks like the one that made them come back a second time. If you take pride in that, we want to talk to you. We're hiring Pizza Cooks and Sauté Cooks for our Preston location. Same standard, different station — pick your craft. What you'll actually do: - Run your station like your name's on every plate — because it is - Know your mise en place and par levels cold, no guessing - Follow recipes and plating specs exactly, ticket after ticket - Know safe holding temps hot and cold, every time - Know allergen protocol and prevent cross-contact, no shortcuts - Read the rail, call times, and fire in sync with the floor - Call out 86s and delays fast so front of house isn't caught flat-footed - Own a mistake, re-fire it immediately, no excuses and no drama - Jump in on a neighboring station when the kitchen's in the weeds - Clean as you go — station's tidy all night, not just at close Who thrives here: People who stay organized when the tickets are stacking up, not people who let quality slide and blame the rush. People who take a correction, adjust on the next plate, and don't make it a thing. People who'd be a little embarrassed if the dish going out wasn't one they'd want at their own table. Craft pride matters more to us than years on a resume — we'll teach you our recipes, but we can't teach you to care. Pay: $18–$21/hr, based on experience. If that sounds like your kitchen, come cook with us. Apply now — tell us which station you want (pizza or sauté) and why. We read every application, and we're hiring soon.
