Savory Chef

Sparrow is hiring a FT Savory Chef to add to our family! Sparrow is a busy, medium-sized, regional, wholesale and retail bakery specializing in hand laminated croissants and crave-worthy café foods. We are currently hiring chefs for our NWX Café.

Tired of the nightly grind of the line? Late night hours not quite working for your lifestyle? OR perhaps you’re feeling over the same old kitchen culture? Our Female-owned Bakery/Cafe could be a good fit for you!

At Sparrow we say we are a “Teaching Company”: Cooking in our cafes is relatively simple in execution for an experienced chef, albeit fast paced and rarely dull – BUT we are also willing to teach and train the right worker without professional cooking experience to cook at our bakery!

FT for our chefs is 4 days/week with 3 days off the clock to rest, relax, and pursue the other parts of life!

Experienced chefs can expect to earn $19-$21/hr Depending on Experience, $5-$6/hr in tips. Inexperienced Chefs can plan to be hired at $18/hr, $5-$6/hr in tips, with wage growth potential. Candidates must be able to work at least 1 weekend day.Sparrow is an employee centered company. We offer a moderate benefits package: A 50/50 health insurance plan is offered for any FT individual after 60 days; sick-pay; PTO after 1 year vestige; and a 401K matching plan after 1 year vestige. We will work to give you a regular, consistent schedule that works best for you and your family: full time at Sparrow is 4 days a week so that our staff has 3 days a week spent attending to their personal lives and other important pursuits. We will be attentive to your needs, concerns, and growth potential as it arrives throughout your tenure – we strive to offer jobs we would be proud to have, and work hard to set ourselves apart as one of the best employers in town.

Our Savory Chef position will involve preparing the section for service with prep work such as poaching eggs, making aioli, chicken salad, and other spreads, sauces, soups, and salads that flesh out our café menu. Savory chefs also work service and make sandwiches, soups, and salads to order, occasionally help customers at the register or at their table, deliver food, and maybe learn a few barista skills to boot!

This position is fast paced and intense - candidates will be most successful at this work if they have had experience with fast-paced, relentless work and know they are adrenaline junkies! We do as many breakfast and lunch covers as some of the busiest and largest dinner restaurants in town! Savory Chefs in our kitchen also have a decent amount of exposure to artisan baking and hand lamination, and cross training or gaining new skills to be able to support our production team is highly encouraged! If you can stay cool under the collar, like slaying it to good music, could benefit from the immediate feedback of truly pleased customers, want to work in a supportive, mature atmosphere, and dig making crave-worthy savory foods, this is the position for you!

Please apply on Indeed and/or bring a cover letter explaining your interest in the position and your resume, to our bakery at NWX – 2748 NW Crossings Drive - a cover letter is a GREAT way to set yourself apart! We can’t wait to meet you!
