Location: Durham, Grey County, Ontario
Starting Date: May 19, 2011.
Chicory Common is a vibrant, popular Health Food store and cafe, in the very hub of Durham, providing folks near and far with quality health food and alternative food choices, with a focus on local and organic. Likewise, our cafe strives to provide quality organic, locally-based, fresh made meals.
The duties of the cook are as follows:
• Menu planning and ordering for a primarily vegetarian menu. Co-marketing of food sold within the store and cooked in the cafe.
• Baking muffins daily, and creating features for the day.
• Responsible for all prep., cooking and plating (and some service support when needed, although this is infrequent).
• Baking of some desserts (this may be negotiated)
• Keeping clean and very organized the kitchen, pantry, dry food and refrigeration spaces.
The successful applicant is someone who is very dynamic, sociable and definitely a team player, as our kitchen and store are an open-concept arrangement, and there will be much cooperation with others working in the store.
A strong knowledge and experience of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free cooking is needed. Many of our clientele have dietary concerns which we cater to.
A very organized person who concerns themselves with cleanliness and organization would work best in this position.
The co-management position could lead to full management of the cafe, with the right fit.
Training will be provided, as there is a regular menu and daily flow to adhere to. However, there is plenty of room for a person to develop their own menu items, and apply their own style to the position, and we encourage that.
Salary: to be determined upon experience.
