Who We Are
At Electric Beets, we’re redefining fast, healthful eating with bold flavors, sustainability, and unmatched convenience. We believe plant-powered food should be vibrant, delicious, and kind to the planet—no shortcuts, no compromises.
We are currently hitting our peak busy season and gearing up for an exciting expansion! We’re looking for a passionate, detail-oriented cook to join our core team ASAP and grow with us.
Why This Isn't Your Average Line Cook Job
If you’re tired of the frantic chaos of a traditional hot line, this is for you. Electric Beets is a high-volume grab & go concept, which means our kitchen focuses heavily on batch preparation, baking, and precision execution.
You won't be working a traditional line; instead, you’ll be crafting signature house-made sauces, baking fresh baked goods, and producing plant-based proteins (like our signature seitan) from scratch. We measure everything precisely to the gram to ensure every bite hits our exact standards.
Schedule & Availability
We are primarily looking to fill the early morning shift, but we need someone with flexibility as our team grows and expansion kicks off.
Initial Schedule:
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, & Saturdays: 6:30 AM – 2:30 PM
Note: Weekend availability is required, along with a willingness to adjust hours as our operational needs evolve.
What You’ll Do
- Execute Batch Recipes: Bake, make house sauces, and prepare plant-based proteins (like seitan) following precise gram-based recipes.
- Master Prep & Produce: Thoroughly wash, chop, and organize fresh produce upon delivery, maintaining strict FIFO dating and labeling.
- Maintain Kitchen Excellence: Keep a spotless, sanitary work area, following top-tier food safety protocols.
- Proactive Communication: Flag inventory levels, communicate produce quality, and collaborate smoothly with the rest of the team.
- Bring the Energy: Work efficiently and calmly under pressure, bringing a open-minded, supportive vibe to the kitchen every single day.
What We’re Looking For
- Core Culinary Skills: Solid foundation in professional cooking, baking, and knife handling.
- Precision Mindset: Ability to follow complex recipes strictly down to the gram.
- Physical Capability: Ability to stand for 100% of your shift and lift/carry at least 30 lbs up and down stairs.
- Team-First Attitude: Willingness to give and receive feedback, coach peers, and lift up the team around you.
- Reliability: Punctual, present, and ready to dive into early morning shifts with focus and positive energy.
- Must hold NYC Food Protection Certificate, or acquire it within 60 days of hire.
Perks & Benefits
- 401(k) with Employer Matching
- Pre-tax Transit Benefits
- Complimentary Shift Meal (eat the delicious food you make!)
- Generous Staff Discounts
- Room for growth as we expand!
