Company description

Hamrah’s Lebanese Foods & Takeaway is a family-owned café, 20 minutes north of Hudson, New York in Kinderhook, New York, serving fresh Lebanese-inspired wraps, bowls, salads, soups, desserts, and prepared foods rooted in the traditions and flavors of Lebanon.

We use high-quality ingredients and draw on the abundance of the Hudson Valley whenever possible, incorporating locally grown vegetables, locally raised meats, and seasonal products alongside ingredients that are essential to Lebanese cooking. We make everything from scratch, and we prepare our food in small batches to ensure freshness and flavor. We are also known for offering a wide variety of gluten-free options, as well as many vegetarian and vegan dishes, making it easy for guests with different dietary preferences to enjoy our cuisine.

Job description

We’re looking for someone who loves making good food and wants to be part of a small business where their work truly matters.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys cooking from scratch, values consistency and hospitality, and wants to help shape what comes next for a growing food business.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll spend your days preparing and cooking food for our café and markets, including:

• Making menu items from established recipes
• Preparing soups, grains, sauces, dips, and other components
• Baking desserts
• Helping maintain a clean, organized kitchen
• Working with the rest of our small team to ensure customers receive delicious, consistent food

Some days will be busy and fast-paced. Others will be quieter and focused on prep and production. Both are important parts of the job.

Who Thrives Here

You don’t need to check every box to apply.

We’re interested in people who:

• Have experience cooking professionally or have developed strong cooking skills through other meaningful experience
• Care about quality and consistency
• Enjoy learning and improving
• Can work independently and stay organized
• Treat coworkers and customers with kindness and respect
• Are willing to work weekends
• Love food

If you’re excited about the work but aren’t sure you meet every qualification, we’d still love to hear from you.

An Opportunity to Grow

Hamrah’s is at an interesting moment in its story.

As owners, we’re looking for someone who wants to become a trusted leader in the kitchen and gradually take on responsibilities that are currently handled by ownership. While this position begins as a cook role, we’re excited by the possibility of finding someone who wants to help guide production, improve systems, contribute ideas, and play a meaningful role in the future of the business.

We believe great food businesses grow when talented people are given room to grow, too.
