Dessert Restaurant jobs in Vancouver, BC

Violeté has been open for 3 months and has been busier that even our most optimistic forecasts. We're looking to bring on full-time and/or part-time line cooks and pizza cooks to keep up with the demand!

About Violeté

Rooted in the warmth and simplicity of European tradition, Violeté is a new rustic European bistro inspired by the kitchens of Italy and Spain. Our menu celebrates forno cooking, house-made pastas and breads, coastal ingredients, and the seasonal bounty of British Columbia, with a forno oven at the heart of the kitchen.

The space reflects the brand: approachable but elevated, timeless yet fresh, warm, comfortable, and immune to trends. Violeté is designed to be a neighbourhood gathering place where food is shared, wine flows generously, and hospitality is at the forefront.

The Role

We’re hiring for two positions, with both full-time and part-time shifts available:

Prep Cook

• Prepare sauces, desserts, vegetables, and proteins as per recipes and chef's specifications
• Set up, run, and break down your assigned station
• Maintain prep par levels and proper FIFO rotation
• Uphold sanitation and food safety standards

Line Cook

• Execute menu items to standard during service
• Set up, run, and break down your assigned station
• Maintain prep par levels and proper FIFO rotation
• Uphold sanitation and food safety standards

Bonus if you have previous pizza experience as well:

• Hand-stretch and dress pizzas to spec.
• Run the gas Forno oven, managing temperature, rotation, and timing
• Coordinate with line cooks and the pass during service
• Maintain prep par levels for dough, sauces, and toppings
• Keep your station clean, organized, and stocked

Must have a positive attitude and demeanour. The first rule of our kitchen is no a$$holes! Passion for food and delivering unique experiences to each and every guest. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment as part of a team but able to work independently as well. Ability to multi-task is a must!

• Free meal on every shift worked.
• Discounts on Van Urban beer, wine and cider as well as our sister restaurants, Belgard Kitchen, Havana Vancouver, and The Flamingo Room.
• Opportunities to advance in the kitchen.
• Starting hourly wage between $21/hr - $23/hr depending on experience. Gratuities are paid out weekly on top of this wage.
