About this role
On is seeking an experienced Cook IV/Lead Cook for a part-time position at their San Jose location. You'll oversee kitchen operations and quality across stations, managing both complex recipe execution and the cooks working alongside you. Your day involves preparing menu items to specification, directing plating and timing, conducting quality inspections before service, and ensuring stations remain organized and properly stocked. You'll also handle inventory checks, assist with ordering, lead shift briefings, and coordinate special features while maintaining strict compliance with health, safety, and sanitation standards.
This role requires at least two years of experience as a lead or supervisor cook—someone who knows how to manage both the technical demands of the kitchen and the people in it. You should be comfortable with complex recipes, comfortable directing others, and committed to the operational details that keep a kitchen running smoothly: food handling protocols, inventory management, and the standards that protect guests and staff alike.
If you're an experienced lead cook looking for part-time work and thrive in a structured hospitality environment with clear quality standards, this could be a fit. On values integrity, teamwork, and accountability—qualities that matter as much in the kitchen as they do anywhere else in their organization.
