This particular role is for a line cook position within Nordstrom's food service team. The ideal line cook is highly motivated, results-oriented, and dedicated to delivering outstanding customer service each day. This role involves preparing food items consistently while adhering strictly to recipe standards to maintain quality and consistency. Candidates will be responsible for maintaining a safe working environment by employing proper food handling techniques and following all applicable food safety guidelines, ensuring both employee and customer safety. The daily responsibilities include various kitchen duties such as setting up the line, preparing ingredients and food items, cleaning, and breaking down kitchen stations at the end of shifts. Given the dynamic nature of the food service business, the work schedule may vary weekly based on the restaurant's needs, requiring flexibility from the candidate.
