Join Our Opening Team - Hiring for Our New Restaurant in Downtown Toronto!

Line Cook – Concord Room

Concord Room, a new restaurant from Harlo Entertainment and Big Hug Hospitality, is a classic neighbourhood dining room built around food you want to eat often. Sit down for a shrimp cocktail and a martini at the bar. Grab a beef dip or burger for lunch, in and out if you’re on the clock. Stay for dinner and have some Miami cut beef ribs, grilled fish with dill butter, or chicken paprikash over a bottle of wine.

It’s a room that knows when you’re in a hurry and when you’re not. Nice ingredients, cooked well, with everything happening as it should. We take our cues from the grill houses of another era, but keep things a little more relaxed. The easygoing cousin to Linny’s, without the white tablecloths.

We’re looking for a Line Cook to join our kitchen team. You’ll work closely with the Sous Chefs and fellow cooks to prepare and execute dishes with consistency, quality, and efficiency. You’ll play an important role in keeping service running smoothly, maintaining a clean and organized station, and ensuring every dish meets our standards. This posting is for an existing vacancy.

What You’ll Do

• Cook menu items in your assigned station in cooperation with the rest of the kitchen staff and sous chefs
• Work the grill, flat top, fryer and sauté stations, cooking meats and fish to the correct temperature
• Set up and stock your station with all necessary supplies before service
• Follow recipes, portion sizes and plating guidelines for every dish
• Keep tickets moving quickly at lunch, when many guests are on the clock
• Ensure that food comes out simultaneously, in high quality and in a timely fashion
• Communicate with the pass and fellow cooks on timing, allergies and modifications
• Label, date, and rotate product at your station
• Break down and clean your station at the end of service
• Comply with nutrition and sanitation regulations and safety standards

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience as a Line Cook or in a similar role in a professional kitchen.
• Strong cooking skills, including experience working with grills, fryers, flat tops, and sauté stations.
• Attention to food quality, consistency, presentation, and portion control.
• Ability to work efficiently and stay organized in a fast-paced kitchen environment.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills, especially during busy service periods.
• Knowledge of food safety, sanitation, and proper food handling and storage practices.
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays.
• Legal eligibility to work in Ontario, Canada.

• Full-time group health benefits after probation.
