Torchy's is a renowned restaurant brand that originated in Austin, Texas in 2006. It began as a humble food trailer with a passionate executive chef who had a vision to create exceptional tacos.

It is widely recognized for its commitment to quality, creativity, and delivering a unique dining experience that focuses on being 'Damn Good.'

Torchy's values its culinary craft and treats every element, from preparation to presentation, with the utmost care to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. The line cook position at Torchy's plays a pivotal role in maintaining the company's high standards in food quality and customer service. Line cooks are the heart of the kitchen and are responsible for crafting Torchy's signature dishes from scratch every day in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. This includes mastering various kitchen stations such as fry, grill, sauté, steam, and taco assembly. Each station requires specific skills: the fry station focuses on perfecting fried items with the right crispiness and flavor; the grill station demands precise cooking of proteins and taco ingredients; the sauté station involves handling diverse ingredients to create flavorful dishes; steam station specialists prepare dishes that require steaming with proper texture and taste; and the taco assembly station ensures each taco is built to meet stringent standards and guest expectations. The role involves food preparation and cooking according to Torchy's recipes, ensuring consistency in every dish served. Quality control is critical, with line cooks responsible for monitoring the taste, appearance, and temperature of food items before they reach customers. Maintaining cleanliness and organization of the workstations aligns with food safety and sanitation regulations. Effective teamwork is important, as line cooks collaborate closely with the back-of-house team to maintain smooth kitchen operations, especially during peak hours. Part of the job also includes inventory management—assisting with stocking and organizing ingredients to prepare the kitchen for efficient service throughout the day. Efficiency and urgency are necessary during busy periods to keep up with guest demand without compromising on food quality.
