We are a towards-zero waste company, taking great pride in reducing our carbon foot print through compositing, recycling and smart business practices.
We are looking for someone who wants to join our team and grow alongside us. Some experience and basic food knowledge is mandatory, but the desire to learn, grown and perfect your art is most important.
This is a somewhat non-traditional kitchen environment. We run a full production Monday through Thursday from 7am-4'ish. With a set number of multiple entrees that must be produced each day, it is imperative that you have the ability to stay on task and self-manage while also providing support to the head chef and sous chef. Open communication and the ability to multi-task and prioritize tasks is a must.
Plantage provides a super up-beat and positive work environment, while at the same time adhering to extremely high standards in quality, production and cleanliness. The ideal candidate will be keen to learn on the fly, repeat tasks based on demonstrations and take personal pride in their daily work. There is no job too big or small for anyone on the team. We work together to support each other in the shared goal of growing the company.
We are currently hiring for a part-time portioner position. This role consists primarily of packaging prepared food into appropriate containers, labeling these containers and storing product in walk-in. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 10am-4’ish. Wednesday 11am-3pm’ish.
We can guarantee 20’ish hours per week but there is the possibility to grow into a more full-time position for the right candidate who is interested in taking on more responsibilities such as prep work, cleaning and customer interface.
Cleanliness, attention to detail and structured organization a must.
This is an excellent entry-level position for someone looking for long-term gainful employment. Please do not apply if you are looking for a short-term position. We are looking to build a team, not just fill a role.
