The Notorious PIG is looking for a Pit Master

Yo! Can you throw down in a professional kitchen and have a desire to smoke meat for a living? If so, we have great news for you. The PIG’s looking for a daytime Pitmaster for our Downtown location. The Pitmaster is a key position in the restaurant. This person must be punctual, detail oriented, self-motivated, and able to lift heavy loads. A Pitmaster needs to have prior food service experience. It doesn’t have to be in BBQ, we’ll teach you the way. But you need to have the jist of how to be a professional in a kitchen environment. I.e. you must be able to read and follow recipes and procedures, pay attention to details and make decisions based on product yields, direct and delegate, and solve problems you see coming a mile away. You’d be a production leader and a manager of people, time, and food.

Responsibilities:

Unload / load smokers with product according to projections and specs.

Prep meats, sauces and sides following recipes and procedures.

Thorough understanding of all menu items and prep procedures.

Project product needs based on usages/pars, catering, and carry out needs.

Direct staff during prep and kitchen set up.

Secondary line responsibilities.

Receive orders, check for quality and accuracy-report any discrepancies.

Keep work area clean, organized and free of debris.

Assist in the cleaning and maintenance of the smokers.

Manage others during set up and prep.

Project needs and place food/beverage/paper orders for restaurant/catering needs.

All this and a “can do” attitude! Hours are about as cherry as they get for a BBQ joint. 9am – 4pm (ish) with at least one really early morning shift a week thrown in: 5am – 11am(ish). Full-time position. Must be available weekends. If this sounds like something that would flip your switch, get a resume to us via email or in person.
