The Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls is looking for a motivated cook to join our culinary team in a full-time or part-time capacity. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a welcoming environment that values quality, organization, and hospitality. Our open kitchen allows guests to see and appreciate your craft, so professionalism and pride in your work are a must. We’re seeking someone with strong prep and organizational skills who can support daily operations and contribute to a smooth and efficient service. A flexible schedule is required, including availability on weekends and holidays.

If you’re passionate about food, thrive in a team setting, and are ready to contribute to a positive kitchen culture—we’d love to hear from you! Responsibilities:

• Prepare and present food in an attractive, consistent, and timely manner.
• Maintain a clean and organized workstation, following all health, safety, and sanitation standards.
• Stock and organize food trucks, receive and put away incoming inventory, and ensure proper rotation of stock (FIFO method).
• Properly store, label, and date all food items; ensure leftovers are handled and stored appropriately at the end of each shift.
• Clean kitchen surfaces, equipment, and utensils after each shift to maintain a sanitary work environment.
• Take out trash and recycling as needed throughout and at the end of each shift.
