Morning baker, soup maker, and meats cook

Now hiring a part-time prep kitchen baker and cook for Goose Hollow Inn, an established Portland tavern and coffee house owned and operated by the Clark family and an awesome, dedicated staff.

Our goal is to hire a cook with efficient, safe knife handling skills, the ability to read and follow recipes and directions, the skill and desire to work both independently/autonomously as well as with others in a kitchen, and last but not least, a good sense of taste. You will need to produce a lot of product while balancing the other aspects of the position (cleaning, stocking, and safety), so having a clear mind, multi-tasking skills, and prep kitchen experience is important for our mutual success.

The job is for a part-time baker/cook/soup maker position on Monday and Tuesday mornings into the afternoons, approximately 8 hours a day, 6-2. Preferred candidates will also have some availability other days of the week for immediate training as well as for ongoing subbing. We understand that because of the part-time nature of this offered position, the new hire will likely have another job.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Baking for our coffee house (e.g. banana and harvest quick breads, turnovers, sweet roll dough/twists, muffins, bars and cookies)

Cooking meats

Making the daily soup from scratch (recipes provided, but trying new ones is encouraged)

Making quinoa beet salad

Laundry (washing, drying, folding towels)
