What are the responsibilities and job description for the THE OPTIMIST COOK – UP TO $24/hr. (Germantown) position at The Optimist - Nashville?
At Rocket Farm Restaurants, the core philosophy that defines our culture is “We serve the person who is serving the guest.” Our culture is not something we act out on the floor of the restaurant. It starts with how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen – with dignity, respect, and care. We believe there should be no difference in how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen and how we treat and serve our guests in the dining room. We hope you agree and will consider joining us!
The Optimist brings a menu of casual, wood-fired fare to Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood, transporting landlocked Tennesseans coast side to experience fresh, sustainably sourced seafood.
The Optimist is seeking an experienced Cook to join our Nashville family!
With a seafood-inspired, seasonally driven menu, The Optimist Cook has a strong knowledge and understanding of the preparation of hot and cold food items and ability to communicate and expedite food items on the back line while managing his/her assigned station to ultimately ensure total guest satisfaction.
