Halifax, Canada Bird's Nest Cafe Full time

Are the late restaurant nights and hot kitchens getting to be tiresome and unfulfilling? Perhaps it's time for a fresh change. Bird's Nest Cafe is a busy 40-seat restaurant in the heart of downtown Halifax that serves fresh and fast breakfasts, lunches, and amazing coffee.

Shifts run Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 3:30pm.

Position description:
We're hiring a well-versed cook who can assemble prep and prepare dishes from our cafe and catering menus, and has a strong sense of organization and time management. If you have the spark of creativity and a sense of leadership, there is room for high growth in this position.

Responsibilities include:

- Prepping and executing various dishes before and during breakfast and lunch service.
- Greeting and interacting pleasantly with customers, as our service kitchen is open.
- Keep your work station pristinely clean and restocked.
- Prepping menu items for service and catering.
- Preparing your own prep list in addition to tasks assigned to you by your co-workers.

Availability requirements:
You must be available to work daytime shifts from Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 3:30pm.
