Prep Cook at Seventh & Dolores Steakhouse

Description

Seventh & Dolores Steakhouse, or 7D, is founded on a commitment to quality and honesty – naturally farmed and humanely raised foods prepared in simple, soulful ways. While the heart of the restaurant is a classic steakhouse, we imagine an experience and menu that is fun and contemporary.  The rich, fertile land of California and the spectacular Pacific Ocean dictate the seasonally changing menu, but as victims of wanderlust, we also want to bring the energy and influences of our travels back to our home in Monterey County. As a prep cook you will assist in creating a culinary experience for our guests. You will prepare all food related items, assist in the receiving and stocking of orders, and work with the team to ensure setup and breakdown of the main kitchen are complete.
