Job Description: Prep Cook
Our mission is to be a business that nourishes our community in more than one way. That community starts with our team.
We seek team members who are motivated, positive, and continually strive for growth. Growth means being comfortable with change (even when it's uncomfortable), making mistakes (and learning from them!) and having the ability to laugh along the way (a good sense of humor is a must!).
Individuals of all backgrounds, ages, and identities are encouraged to apply. Those who demean others based on race, religion, gender identification, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity, or ability are not.
Professional kitchen experience is not required, but a welcome bonus.
Tonino’s values are Trust, Nourish, Community, Intention. We seek team members who value those things, too. Learn more about them here.
