Cook

Hey there. I'm putting this listing together for a Pastry Cook position at the Tappan Hill Mansion in New York, NY. It's a part time gig with Abigail Kirsch, which is part of Elior North America. They've got a specific type of person in mind, so let's get into the details.

The Work

You'd be joining the kitchen team for their Abigail Kirsch division. Your focus is on the pastry side of things in what they describe as a fast paced and efficient environment.

• Quality and portion control are big here.
• You'll handle food prep and creative presentation.
• A major part of the job is maintaining the kitchen space and making sure food is stored correctly.
• Following safe food handling policies, procedures, and recipes isn't optional; it's how everything runs.

What You Need to Bring

These are their must haves. If you don't have these, you probably won't get a call back.

• At least one year of prior culinary experience. And it needs to be in a quality, high volume place that focuses on scratch cooking.
• A working knowledge of proper culinary methods, techniques, and standards.
• Excellent attention to detail. You have to juggle multiple tasks when it gets busy.
• The ability to use various kitchen equipment and tools. You also need to be able to identify and differentiate food items.
• Customer service experience is required. That might mean interacting with staff or clients directly; they didn't specify, but it's on the list.

A food handler’s certification would be a nice bonus, but it isn't mandatory starting out.

The Details & Pay

This is a part time position. The pay range is $24 to $28 an hour, and that's based on your experience level.
