Prep Cook

Job Summary: Prep cooks are the people responsible for making sure that food is prepared to the exact specifications of the chef, establishment, and customer. While the prep cook is an entry-level position, a new cook is responsible for developing his or her technique so that they may move up in the kitchen to positions with more responsibility. The following job duties of a line cook are what one can expect to perform:

Responsibilities:

Station Set Up. The prep cook is responsible for preparing his or her station before the start of each service. The line cook must make sure that all the supplies that will be needed for the night are available and ready for use. This can include preparing some items in advance or performing simple tasks such as stocking the station with plates and bowls.
Prepping Food. The prep cook will be asked to prep food for service each day. This can mean chopping vegetables, butchering meat, or preparing sauces. Depending on the needs of the kitchen, the line cook may also be asked to prepare items for other stations or for special events.
Cooking. During meal service, the prep cook will assist in preparing the items requested from his or her co-workers. This requires working with other cooks in the kitchen to make sure that food is ready at the right time, in the right order so that it arrives at the customer's table ready to eat and at the right temperature. A line cook will often be directed by a Kitchen Manger, Sous Chef or Executive Chef as he prepares food.
Clean Up. At the end of service, the prep cook is responsible for cleaning his or her station and may be asked to help other cooks clean up their stations. This means disposing of garbage, cleaning utensils, pots, and pans, and cleaning cooking surfaces. The prep cook will also be responsible for taking care of leftover food, whether that means disposing of it, returning unused items to the correct inventory location, or storing cooked goods for use at another service.
Stocking. The prep cook is also called on to unload delivery trucks and store inventory correctly. This can mean stocking pantries or walk-in refrigerators, or simply inventorying items and reporting to the Executive Chef.

Prior experience working in a professional kitchen

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
