Line Cook
Hospitality & Horeca · Lisbon, Portugal
JB-753 · Functional (B1) · 5 openings
A restaurant on the Alcantara riverfront in Lisbon is adding line cooks to a brigade of nine. The kitchen serves about 140 covers a day, Portuguese dishes with a fish section that changes with the market. Permanent contract and two consecutive days off a week.
About role
You run one station, usually grill or garnish, and set it up before service: stock checked against the par list, sauces reduced, fish portioned and everything labelled with its date. During service you fire to the ticket, plate to the photograph on the pass and call your own timings back to the chef de partie. After service the station is broken down, the fridge rotated, and the temperature sheet signed. Split shifts run 11:00-15:00 and 19:00-23:30, with the kitchen closed two days a week.
