Occupation
Prep Cook
A prep cook handles the foundational kitchen work that allows a restaurant's line cooks to operate smoothly, chopping vegetables and portioning proteins using strong knife skills and organizing mise en place before service. They follow food safety and sanitation standards while stocking inventory and prepping ingredients according to recipes and par levels. This entry-to-mid-level kitchen role requires solid time management to have everything ready before the rush begins, and often serves as a stepping stone to line cook positions.
