LINE COOK: FULL-TIME, PERMANENT YOUR DAILY MISSION:Work with our kick-ass culinary team to create an exceptional food experience. WHO ARE WE? We’ve been making kick-ass coffee for over 25 years. We’re Canada’s #1 selling Whole Bean coffee. All our coffee is Organic and Fairtrade, roasted right in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, smack dab in the middle of nowhere. And it’s not just our coffee that’s good. We’ve been recognized as one of the Best Workplaces in Canada by Great Place to Work since 2015. We work hard and have fun. That’s how we roll. WHO ARE YOU? You bring the flavour, zest, and fiery passion for all things food and taste. Maybe you are a seasoned (pun intended) professional in the culinary arts, or maybe you are just getting into the scene, but one thing is certain: you love food. But what do you love even more than food? Pair it with coffee to create one kick-ass culinary experience. You’re not afraid to spice things up and try new things, but you’re also happy to follow a recipe. Is it just us, or do you and our café sound like the perfect pairing? WHAT WILL YOU DO? Create an exceptional culinary experience for all our Café guests. Work with people who love what they do. You will cook, prep, and create incredible tasting food, to bring joy to people the one way you know best, through feeding their stomachs. RESPONSIBILITIES
