Line Cook

Kampar is a forthcoming Restaurant & Bar from James Beard Award nominated Chef Ange Branca. We are re-opening in 2026 in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia.

Kampar is a combined concept that incorporates a high volume, casual fine dining restaurant centered on Malaysian and Hakka Chinese cuisine & a fast casual saté grill concept.

We are currently looking for line cooks and pastry cooks to join Kampar’s kitchen team. 

As part of Kampar’s kitchen team, line cooks and pastry cooks will be responsible primarily for executing our casual fine dining menu, which draws inspiration from Malaysian and Hakka Chinese culture, and/or our saté grill concept focused on Malaysian street food.

Previous line cooking experience is not required, but a dedication to learning & growth is. 

We are in search of individuals who:

• find value in viewing food from a global, rather than strictly western, perspective
• are interested in diversifying their culinary skill sets (this includes learning to work a traditional Chinese wok range)
• enjoy working as part of a team in fast paced, physically demanding environments
• have weekend & evening availability
• believe in maintaining a respectful & collaborative workplace for all employees

Compensation is competitive and based on experience + tip share; Kampar operates as a One Fair Wage restaurant, meaning all staff are paid a base living wage. Full time staff have access to Health Care and PTO.

Please email your resume, including a brief cover letter, to [email protected] 

We look forward to hearing from you.
