    LEAD PREP COOK (AM SHIFT) $20-$24hr

    Tired of working 14-hour days, putting out fires on your day off, or managing kitchen chaos? We’ve got the job for you.

    Butcher & Bee is looking for a Lead Prep Cook to join our AM team. Ideal for a former chef who wants a more balanced life — this is a full-time, 40-hour/week position focused on prep leadership, not kitchen politics.

    WHO YOU ARE:

    A skilled cook with serious prep chops — ideally a former chef who still loves the work but wants a better rhythm.

    Detail-oriented, organized, and efficient — you thrive with a clean station and a clear plan.

    A team player who’s calm under pressure and communicates well.

    Looking for a consistent, supportive workplace where your experience is valued.

    WHAT YOU'LL DO:

    Lead morning prep and assist with brunch service on Saturday and Sunday as needed

    Check in produce orders throughout the day from farmers, butchers, and commodity purveyors

    Support kitchen organization and quality during AM shifts

    Maintain high food safety and cleanliness standards

    Help create a smooth and steady kitchen rhythm

    THE PERKS:

    $20–$24/hr based on experience

    Weekly pay

    Group health plans (for full-time staff)

    1% company-matched 401k

    Parental leave savings match
