                       Kitchen Position (year round full time job)

Thank you for your interest in a job with Yummy wine bar & bistro.  My goal is to hire like minded people who possess a strong professional demeanor with a laid back attitude, but most importantly knowing the proper time & place to display each of them.  

You will be hired mostly on your personality, but here is a list that will also have a major influence on if you get hired or not …

Upscale full small service bistro is seeking a person with at least 2 years experience as sous-chef, cook, chef's assistant or anyone fully able to perform any of the positions listed earlier. This is a self motivated position requiring a formal culinary arts training.

This is a hands-on position. You will work hard and continuously in this kitchen.

This is a small independent business, not a corporation … but professionalism is required. What is expected from you during each shift: side prep, be my right hand person on the line, run the line solo when business slows down, dish duties, side work, closing the kitchen/restaurant, complete scheduled deep cleaning and others …

We are different here; we have no microwave or deep fryer. This place is not a diner, it's a bistro … personality and work ethic must be appropriate for this environment. The size of this kitchen can only hold 3 working bodies; able to work as a team is a must.

The whole restaurant is a total of 1600 sq/ft with 128 sq/ft of that being our small kitchen, off to the side of the kitchen we have a 6x8 walkin cooler and a 7x7 dry storage room (with a reach-in freezer in the dry storage room). We have no banquet room and we do no catering. This is not a corporate kitchen, it's a small business kitchen.

We are a FOH crew of 2.5 people and BOH crew of 2.5 people. BOH crew consist of 1. me the owner/chef (can do and does every job at any given time), 2. my right hand person (sous-chef to dishwasher to closing duties for the kitchen & restaurant to everything in between), & 3. part-time kitchen help (runner, plates desserts & platters, and dishwasher).

This is a TEAM oriented business.   We maintain a drug-free workplace.  We perform all reference checks, criminal background screening and a credit check. All job offers are contingent upon successful reference checks, criminal background screening and a credit check.

Serious applicants only.  I’m a determined and focused restaurateur with the goal of having a highly talented and low maintenance crew.  Submit your resume and cover letter in Word format to corey@yummywinebarbistro.com.  Please include, “Yummy POSITION” in the subject line of your email.

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER … Because of the seasonality of the North Oregon Coast it takes a person (and their family) who can handle long dark wet winters with beautiful sunny happy summers, limited social gathering spots in the winter with fun filled events & activities in the summer, slow small town energy in the winter with busy tourist destination in the summer. The summer part may sound exciting, but the winter part seems to be a challenge for many. Take all this seriously before sending in your resume and cover letter. We are not looking to fill a position … we are looking for the right person.
