NOW HIRING: Kitchen Staff — Hot Table Prep & Line Cook
Larose Bakery | Etobicoke, Ontario (Toronto)
Full-Time & Part-Time Available | Immediate Openings
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ABOUT US
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Larose Bakery is a busy, community-loved destination in Etobicoke offering fresh-baked goods, a café, deli, produce, grocery — and a hot table that our guests count on every single day. Our hot table is a big part of who we are: fresh, flavourful, made-from-scratch food that people come back for.
We're building our kitchen team and need skilled, focused cooks who take pride in their craft and can execute consistently under pressure.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE ROLE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
As a Kitchen Staff / Hot Table Cook, you are the engine behind one of our most important offerings. You'll follow pre-set recipes, execute daily prep, cook to order and to schedule, and ensure the hot table is fully stocked, fresh, and ready on time — every time.
This is not a creative-by-committee role. You follow the recipes. You respect the standards. You own your station.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Prep — Knife work, portioning, marinating, mise en place for the day's menu
- Cooking — Execute hot table recipes precisely and consistently across every batch
- Timing — Coordinate production so items are hot, fresh, and ready when the table opens and throughout service
- Recipe Adherence — Follow pre-set recipes exactly; no freestyling without authorization
- Cleanliness & Food Safety — Maintain a clean station at all times; follow FIFO, temperature logs, and sanitation standards
- Receiving & Prep Rotation — Assist with receiving ingredients, proper labelling, rotation, and storage
- Team Coordination — Communicate with front-of-house and team leads to manage par levels and replenishment
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- 1–3+ years of experience in a kitchen, prep, or line cook role (restaurant, catering, deli, or institutional kitchen — all considered)
- Ability to follow written recipes precisely and reproduce consistent results
- Strong knife skills and general cooking fundamentals
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced kitchen environment under time pressure
- Reliable, organized, and focused — you don't need to be chased
- Food Handler Certificate (required or must obtain within 30 days of hire)
- Able to work early mornings, weekends, and some holidays
- Able to stand for extended periods and handle a physically demanding kitchen environment
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT WE OFFER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Work in a real kitchen making food people genuinely love
- Structured shifts with clear expectations
- Room to grow as we expand our kitchen program
- A team that works hard and looks out for each other
