What are the responsibilities and job description for the Kitchen Staff position at Nara Thai?
Need the next generation of Nara Thai kitchen staff
Looking for kitchen staff to apprentice under Thai aunties and uncles to help make some of the most kick ass Thai food in all of the greater Houston area. What's more authentic than learning the art of a proper pad thai while being judged on your technique, demeanor and ability to handle their deep sigh as you fill up the rice cooker with water up to you knuckles instead of the top of your wrist?
Come and join us at Nara Thai while we are building the next generation of kitchen leads to help us spread the gospel of high quality Thai food.
We are looking for the following roles to fill out our team:
- Dishwashers ($10/hr) - You will only wash dishes and handle the trash. If you're feeling a little spicy you can help prep some food items. Once you get a little comfy, then you can move up to...
- Prep cooks ($11/hr ) - Where you will help us make the magic happen and prep food items while training up to be....
- Line cooks (12$/hr - $14/hr) - Depending on where you fit and your proficiency, we will have you learn and specialize in different parts of the menu to help express your inner or outer Thai cook.
Expectations:
- Be able and willing to cut things, cook those things up to temp and then plate them properly
- Be compassionate - we are all learning and growing on here, our expectation isn't perfection but constant improvement
- Be proactive about cleanliness - If our kitchen is clean, our food is clean, and our health record will be clean
- Patience - At any point in time, there may be up to 4 different languages being spoken to coordinate the delivery of a meal that can make us proud. Miscommunications will happen. Let's work together to make sure that we resolve the problem and not focus on what we think actually happened
- Be willing to cross train - Given the nature of the industry, it's almost impossible now to just come in and do one job. Cross training is an effective tool to show off the other parts of Thai food while also building up compassion for your other team mates
