Production Cook – Francis Mallmann (CookUnity)
Overview
Join the culinary team of internationally renowned Argentine chef Francis Mallmann, known for his distinctive approach to open-fire cooking and bold, ingredient-driven cuisine.
In partnership with CookUnity, we're bringing Francis Mallmann's signature flavors and recipes to customers through high-quality, chef-crafted, ready-to-eat meals.
We're looking for dependable, detail-oriented cooks to join our dedicated team within CookUnity's Brooklyn production kitchen. This is an opportunity to work with recipes developed by one of the world's most recognized chefs in a professional, collaborative, high-volume culinary environment.
Unlike a traditional restaurant kitchen, this position focuses on food preparation, cooking, and plating rather than à la carte service or customer-facing responsibilities.
Full-time and part-time positions are available, with shifts generally scheduled from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, including weekends.
Responsibilities
- Prepare and cook Francis Mallmann recipes in batches, consistently following established recipes, specifications, measurements, and quality standards.
- Plate and portion finished meals accurately, maintaining consistency in presentation, portion sizes, and overall quality.
- Perform daily ingredient preparation, including washing, cutting, measuring, and organizing ingredients for production.
- Operate commercial kitchen equipment safely and efficiently in a shared production kitchen.
- Coordinate with fellow cooks and kitchen leadership to meet daily production targets and timelines.
- Maintain clean, organized, and sanitary workstations, equipment, and preparation areas.
- Follow all food safety, sanitation, temperature-control, and food-handling procedures, including Southern Coals and CookUnity operating standards.
- Monitor food quality throughout preparation and cooking, promptly communicating any issues or inconsistencies.
- Assist with kitchen setup, cleaning, and other production-related tasks as needed.
CookUnity handles the sealing, packaging, and distribution of finished meals. Our team is responsible for preparing, cooking, and plating the food.
Qualifications
- Previous professional cooking experience, preferably at least 1–2 years.
- Experience in high-volume food preparation, catering, banquets, commissary kitchens, or restaurant kitchens is highly valued.
- Strong basic culinary skills, including knife handling, food preparation, cooking techniques, and recipe execution.
- Ability to follow detailed recipes and production specifications consistently.
- Attention to detail, particularly in portioning, plating, food quality, and presentation.
- Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, team-oriented kitchen environment.
- Reliability, punctuality, flexibility, and a positive, collaborative attitude.
- Ability to stand for extended periods and perform the physical tasks associated with commercial kitchen work.
- Availability to work scheduled shifts from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, including weekends as assigned.
- An ANAB-accredited Food Handler Certificate, or willingness to obtain one before beginning food-handling duties.
- Spanish-language skills are welcome; English or Spanish communication skills sufficient for safe and effective teamwork.
