Job Details
**AM Position** Some evening shifts for events, but we are primarily open 10am-6pm, Shifts begin between 8am-10am. Must have solid culinary knowledge. This is not a repetitive line cook position, this is an open cook position, requiring a firm grasp of multiple cuisines.

 We have an everchanging take-away menu which is updated weekly and our retail fridge & freezer are stocked with gourmet goods. We offer a carefully curated retail and grocery space and our open kitchen space is set up for private events. Our standards are extremely high; our customers expect the quality, consistency, and level of service Chef Taryn curated during her decade of cooking for Oprah Winfrey.

We are looking for a unicorn. We’re growing like crazy and we need someone to help keep this ship running seamlessly. Are you a fabulous cook and also quick with a helpful smile for front of house? Are you easygoing yet neurotic in the best way? Are you kind? Can you keep your ego in check and work as a team? Are you excited to collaborate on menus, marketing ideas & keep the creative juices flowing?
Must be meticulous and able to supervise kitchen support staff, when applicable. 
 
We are NOT a restaurant. We are an open kitchen and you need to enjoy interacting with our customers and be able to step in and lend a hand to front of house when needed. Our staff is small, our hours flexible, and 80% are daytime. Weekends are our busiest days. We're looking for someone interested in all aspects of Kismet: Finding new, independently produced retail items to introduce to our customers, developing our own products, creating custom events, planning new classes and developing curriculum, choosing new cookbooks to sell, starting a cookbook club, etc.


Hours and days are flexible, and we will consider full or part-time commitments.

The Kismet Table is a beautiful commercial space in Lincoln Park. A former cookbook shop, it has an incredible Fisher & Paykel show kitchen, beautiful, warm dining space. We offer an eclectic weekly menu of to-go provisions, and have small-batch gourmet retail & housewares- both made in-house and by other independent crafters from around the world. Most notably, we host bespoke dinner and cocktail parties for private groups. It is an Atelier...a workshop where we can dream, create, and experiment. Culinary Classes, Public Dining Events, and more coming soon!
