Overview: Bunker is a friendly, unpretentious neighborhood gem tucked away in the heart of the West Loop. Known for our famous smash burgers, crave-able wings, and vibrant outdoor patio, we are a true community staple where good times, great food, and refreshing drinks come together.

We are currently looking for a reliable and team-oriented Line Cook to join our tight-knit Back of House crew. Whether it's a bustling game day or a relaxed afternoon service, you will be instrumental in executing our menu of high-quality, comfort-driven bar food. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a casual yet high-standards environment and is looking for a flexible schedule of 2 to 4 shifts a week.

Responsibilities:

  • Station Execution: Set up, stock, and execute your station (grill, fry, or pantry) efficiently. Cook our core menu items—including smash burgers, chicken wraps, nachos, and wings—to exact recipes and quality standards.

  • Quality Control: Ensure all food leaves the kitchen hot, fresh, and consistently plated, even during busy rushes.

  • Kitchen Maintenance: Maintain a meticulously clean and organized workspace. Follow all food safety, sanitation, and cross-contamination guidelines.

  • Prep & Inventory: Assist with daily prep work, monitor inventory levels, and communicate with the Kitchen Manager or lead when ingredients are running low.

  • Team Collaboration: Work closely with both BOH and FOH staff in a calm, professional manner to ensure seamless service and prompt ticket times.

  • Opening/Closing: Execute standard opening and closing BOH checklists to ensure the kitchen is set up for success for the next shift.

Qualifications:

  • Experience: 1+ years of experience as a line cook, preferably in a fast-paced, high-volume pub, bar, or casual dining environment.

  • Skills: Strong multitasking abilities, proficiency with flat tops and fryers, and solid knife skills.

  • Attitude: Unpretentious, highly reliable, and a team player. You must handle the heat of a busy kitchen with a cool head and a positive attitude.

  • Flexibility: Availability to work a mix of midday and evening shifts (2–4 shifts per week).

  • Requirements: Must have a current Chicago Food Handler certificate. Ability to stand for extended periods, bend, and safely lift up to 50 lbs. Bilingual (Spanish/English) is a plus.

Perks of Joining the Bunker Team:

  • 30% Employee Discount at all Heritage Hospitality locations.

  • Amenities: Free access to The Duncan’s on-site gym, pool, and basketball court.

  • Culture: Biannual staff appreciation parties and a supportive, drama-free work environment.
