Line Cook - The Bite of Korea

Job description:

About Us: The Bite of Korea is a fast-growing, highly professional Korean restaurant in Tucker, GA. We are moving away from the typical "temporary gig" mindset of the industry. Instead, we are building a true "Dream Team" focused on high-quality food, consistency, and a positive, structured work culture. We are looking for passionate, career-minded cooks who want to grow professionally with us.

Compensation:

• $15.00 - $19.00 per hour
