The Hamden Inn is seeking a line cook to work alongside an executive chef to prepare food from fresh ingredients using original recipes. Occasional prep work may be involved with sauces, vegetables, stocks, meats, and more.

All members of the kitchen staff are responsible for putting away food deliveries, cleaning of the kitchen, and making sure that the line is fully stocked to handle large volumes of customer traffic.

ability to walk and stand during entire shift
frequent hand washing + maintenance of personal hygiene
