Hiring Cooks
Chef/Cook
We at 3 Gatos Brewery are searching for an international food enthusiast, full or part-time Chef/Cook for our taproom.
3 Gatos Brewery is a new brewery in Wyoming MI, created by a couple of passionate beer people focused on classic and innovative beers and Brazilian and German food.
Our Kitchen staff are the back-of-the-line support team and therefore should be knowledgeable in different cooking techniques, have the ability to cook from a written recipe or verbal description of an unknown dish and describe how it tastes. They should also have basic beer and food pairing knowledge to help our customers have the best beer and food experience possible.
We don’t expect all candidates to have all this out of the gate. We will train you on beer tasting, description, beer styles, and food pairing. Also, we don’t expect you to know how to cook Brazilian and European food from the start, we will help with written recipes, pictures, and descriptions.
What we really look for is someone that is enthusiastic about cooking exciting food, learning, and providing a great customer experience.
We will pay a living wage (starting at $15) plus tips. Salary will depend on your experience and knowledge and will be adjusted with time. Desired to be ServSafe Food Handler certification.
This is a cooking position, therefore, requiring the ability to work nights and weekends and spending long hours on your feet.
Sounds like you?

Hi I am 18
I am a assistant kitchen manager at a small local resteran who closes every shift!
I have a huge passion for food!
I am looking for another job in a small local business
I did unfortunately see that you only hire at 21 or older
So I am wondering if you have any flexibility with age
