@joseguerrero
Experienced cook skilled in food preparation, kitchen operations, and customer-focused service.
What I'm looking for
I am a hands-on cook with experience in fast-casual, grocery, and catering kitchens, performing prep, line, and closing duties across multiple employers. I consistently handled fryer maintenance, nightly sanitation, and food prep under busy service conditions.
My background includes roles in quick-service and catering environments where I developed reliable prep, dishwashing, and till operation skills. I bring practical food-safety knowledge and strong knife skills to daily kitchen operations.
I have experience working closing shifts, managing cleaning routines, and supporting front- and back-of-house teams to maintain smooth service. I take pride in timely prep, equipment care, and maintaining a clean, organized workspace.
I am dependable, hold a driver's license, and focus on learning and growing within restaurant operations while contributing to a professional, team-oriented kitchen.
