You’re the first one in and the person the team looks to when production gets moving. This is a hands-on cooking role - you’re at the line, in the prep, making sure every meal that goes to students is on spec and on time. You also help keep the kitchen organized and set the standard for how the team works.\nThis is the right role if you love to cook, take pride in consistency, and want to be trusted to run the kitchen when it matters.\nWhat You’ll Do\nHot Food Production: You and your team cook from recipe cards - not memory - and portion correctly every time. Spot check portions, verify temperatures, and keep production on schedule. \nCold Batch Production: Cold items - fruit cups, veggie packs, snack packs, wraps, salads, and similar - are produced once or twice per week on a set batch day. You ensure the batch is completed on time, portioned correctly, labeled immediately with prep date and use-by date, and stored at 41°F or below. FEFO is enforced at all times - oldest product forward, newest to the back. No cold items are produced outside the batch schedule without direction from your Ops Manager. Refer to the cold item shelf life guide for use-by standards per item.\nKitchen Pars & Inventory Full inventory count every week - same day, same time. Order based on counts and the batch schedule. Enforce FEFO across every shelf and every fridge. Receive deliveries personally, verify against the invoice, and flag any issues before product goes into storage. Log all waste daily, review patterns weekly, and flag anything that doesn't add up.\nTeam Development Your Kitchen & Service Assistants know their roles, their specs, and your standards. Brief them at the start of every shift - 5 minutes, clear assignments, no ambiguity. On batch day, make sure everyone knows their role in the cold production process. Debrief at least twice a week. Address performance issues directly and document them in real time.\nSales & School Happiness You are the face of Yay at your school. Communicate proactively with school administration - menu changes, service updates, anything that might affect their day. Collect feedback from students and staff and pass it up. \nKitchen Standards\nComplete food safety logs daily - temperatures at opening, during cooking, during holding, and at close.\nKeep your station and shared kitchen spaces clean and organized.\nLog waste accurately and flag anything that seems off.\nHelp receive deliveries and verify product against invoices when needed.\nTeam Support\nSet the pace and the standard for the kitchen team during your shift.\nSupport and lead team members - show them the right way to do things and lead on where you need support. \nWhat We’re Looking For\nCurrent Food Handler certification (required); ServSafe a plus\nExperience in a high-volume kitchen - school food service, catering, or similar\nStrong knife skills and comfort with both hot line and cold prep\nDetail-oriented: you follow recipes, you label correctly, you don’t cut corners\nReliable, on time, and ready to work hard from the moment you walk in\nWhat a Great Day Looks Like\nYou arrive before the team, walk the kitchen, and know the plan before anyone else walks in. Production moves on schedule, temps are verified, and food hits the line looking and tasting exactly right. Cold batch items are portioned and labeled before the shift ends. The kitchen is clean. Your food safety log is signed off. Students got a great meal.\nCompensation\n$23/hr, 4-6hrs/day, 5 days/week Monday-Friday (20-30hrs/week)\nAccrued paid-time off, off when school not in session\nOur Values\nAccountability - Own your station, your output, and your standards.\nCustomer-First - Every student deserves a great meal. That starts with you.\nPositive Energy - The kitchen follows your lead. Make it a good one.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3865,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Catering & Food Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T04:56:42Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":58,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.777,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":55,"expected_fill_days":79,"reasons":["conf:3","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/yaylunch-cook-chantilly","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/yaylunch-cook-chantilly.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T06:25:33Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10012,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":691448},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=691448"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fyaylunch-cook-chantilly"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fyaylunch-cook-chantilly"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fyaylunch-cook-chantilly"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/yaylunch-cook-chantilly\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fyaylunch-cook-chantilly"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":711574}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"yaylunch.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":711574},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
