Cook - Lola's Cafe

Love cooking fresh, flavorful food and bringing creative ideas to the table? Join us at Lola’s Cafe, where we serve breakfast and lunch Wednesday–Sunday, 8am–3pm and host the occasional nighttime event.

We’re looking for a talented, creative cook who loves great food and understands our style. This is a hands-on role: you’ll be jumping in on the Lola’s line (eggs, sauté, fryer, oven) as needed, helping with specials, catering, and cooking for occasional nighttime events and private dinners. We’d love to find someone who is eager to bring fresh ideas while staying true to our menu and vibe.

We have a unique shared kitchen that prepares food for both The Market at White Horse Wine and Spirits and Lola’s Cafe. We work as a team to make sure both businesses are running smoothly. No two days look exactly the same, some days are all about a fast-paced café service, others are prep-heavy or focused on catering, and we need someone excited to jump in wherever needed and able to work with the team.

What You’ll Do

• Cook for Lola’s Cafe and keep service smooth 

• Create and prepare seasonal specials that fit Lola’s style

• Assist with catering and event menus, from prep to plating

• Support nighttime events and private dinners

• Keep the kitchen clean, organized, and efficient
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Strong culinary skills and a passion for scratch cooking

• Creativity and a good feel for Lola’s concept

• Comfort in a busy, high-energy kitchen

• Catering or event experience is a plus

Full time position starting at $21/hour, with compensation based on experience.
