What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cook position at Denny's?

You do more than follow a recipe. A lot more. Because the food you create could be a mood-changer. Maybe even a day changer. Something delicious that ignites our guests’ taste buds just enough to take their minds off their problems - if even for a few minutes. That’s why, to you, it’s not just about getting it out fast - it’s about getting it out right. With an extra dash of passion. Because you’re not just cooking - you’re feeding people.


A Denny’s Cook has a “Guests First" attitude, preparing food to set recipes following brand standards for proper food temperature and presents it on a great looking plate, all while maintaining a clean and sanitary work environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Honors guest requests for special orders.
  • Correctly calls the wheel.
  • Cleans, completes side work, and organizes supplies as required.
  • Monitors waste and other food cost controls.
  • Willingly assisting other team members without being asked.
  • Provides total guest satisfaction.

We are the classic American diner and proud of everything that means. Since 1953, we've served quality food and healthy portions at a fair price. No matter where we are, our light is always on, inviting guests around the world into a place where everyone is welcome.
Our Denny's family is our most important asset. We trust, support and respect each other and work together for the greater good. We recognize the contributions of all.
"Open" means so much more than just being open 24/7. It means being open to all people, appetites and budgets. It says we're open-minded and open to new ideas. Honest, warm and inviting. "Open" is the way we think and act every hour of every day.
