The Canteen, a fast-casual, community-focused institution located in Provincetown, Massachusetts, is looking for a line cook to join our small, high-energy back of house team.
The time-frame for this position is open: We would ask for at least a three-month commitment to help get us through the summer; but it could also last into the fall/winter or be a year-round position.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to join a respected restaurant with strong systems and traditions in our beautiful town. It is also an opportunity to step into a family-owned business that values its team members and the quality of its work environment that is always looking to improve and grow.
We would prefer applicants with line experience, but we would be happy to train a highly motivated, communicative, and ambitious person as well.
Responsibilities include preparing menu items to meet quality, portion and time standards; maintaining line cleanliness/sanitation; and giving great service to co-workers and guests alike.
Our team cares deeply about producing a strong product, creating a positive work environment, and always striving to do and be better each day. Our team members also genuinely care about the well being and health of the company and each other. We hope to add someone to our team who will thrive in that environment or even push us to do and be better.
