The Prep Cook supports daily kitchen production by preparing ingredients, portioning items, and assisting with the setup needed for smooth meal service. Typical duties include washing, peeling, chopping, measuring, and organizing food items; following recipes and portion standards; labeling and storing products correctly; and keeping work areas, tools, and equipment clean and sanitary. The role may also involve helping with basic line tasks, restocking supplies, and communicating with cooks or supervisors to maintain pace during busy periods.
