Chez Rosa

About Chez Rosa

Chez Rosa isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a tight-knit, high-energy team that takes pride in doing things the right way. We’re a French bistro rooted in classic technique, local sourcing, and a deep respect for seasonality.

We believe great food comes from great people. That means creating a workplace that’s supportive, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable—where you can push yourself, grow your skills, and still have fun doing it.

If you love cooking, care about details, and want to be part of a team that’s striving for excellence without losing its soul, you’ll fit right in.

The Role

We’re looking for a Full Time Year Round Line Cook to run a busy grill or pasta station. This is a fast-paced, high-volume role where precision, timing, and teamwork are everything.

You’ll be in the middle of the action; executing dishes consistently, communicating with the team, and helping deliver the level of food we’re known for.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Execute dishes with consistency, speed, and attention to detail

  • Keep your station dialed: clean, stocked, and service-ready at all times

  • Work closely with the team to coordinate tickets and maintain flow during service

  • Stay sharp on recipes, techniques, and plating standards

  • Jump in to support teammates when needed—this is a team-first kitchen

  • Maintain high standards of cleanliness, organization, and food safety

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience on grill and pasta stations

  • Strong communication and organization skills

  • Ability to stay calm and focused in a high-volume service

  • A real sense of urgency without sacrificing quality

  • Positive attitude—no egos, just teamwork

  • Solid understanding of food safety and kitchen fundamentals

The Details

  • $23–$25/hour

  • Daily staff meal

  • Employee dining discounts

  • PTO + 401(k) with match

  • Vision & dental insurance

  • Closed Thanksgiving & Christmas

  • On-site parking

Physical Requirements

This is a hands-on kitchen role. You should be comfortable:

  • Lifting up to 50 lbs

  • Being on your feet for long periods

  • Moving quickly and working with hot equipment

  • Bending, reaching, and handling repetitive tasks throughout service

Why Chez Rosa?

We’re serious about food, you’ll be part of a team that:

  • Cares about quality and consistency

  • Supports each other during busy services

  • Respects work-life balance (especially in a seasonal town)

  • Takes pride in what we put on the plate

If you’re ready for a busy season, a strong team, and a kitchen that actually enjoys what it does—we’d love to meet you.
