Job Details
John's Food & Wine is expanding our team and seeking passionate, skilled individuals. We were named Food & Wine's 2026 Restaurant of the Year, and we're known for our focus on seasonal, New American cuisine, paired with an impressive selection of wines and cocktails. Our kitchen team includes both new and experienced cooks, creating a supportive environment that values learning and high standards.
We are committed to an equitable work environment and believe in fair compensation for everyone. Our service fee model means all hourly staff (front-of-house, cooks, and dishwashers) share in the service fee pool. On our most recent paycheck, our newer cooks earned $35 per hour and our longest tenured cook earned $51 per hour. Pay varies with volume, but that's what the numbers actually look like right now.
We are looking for a hospitality professional with a strong work ethic, collaborative spirit, and a kind, positive personality. While culinary skill is important, we value teamwork and a commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences. The ideal candidate will be flexible and open to learning various aspects of the business.
We welcome all qualified individuals to apply. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status.
