Kitchen Associate, 2Nd Shift [$16, Benefits, Free Meal Plan]

Feast & Fettle is seeking a well-trained KITCHEN ASSOCIATE to join Cold Line operations at our production facility located in East Providence. This opening is for the 2nd shift (12pm-8pm), with a consistent weekly schedule, Friday-Tuesday.

What is Feast & Fettle?

Feast & Fettle started as a private chef business in 2016, and has since scaled into New England's leading premium, fully-prepared meal delivery service.

Each week at our Rhode Island production facility, our high-quality menu items are prepared from scratch, packaged with care, and then hand-delivered to our retail locations and growing member base across New England.

In joining us at F&F, you will work alongside a transparent, high-growth team filled with joyful, ambitious people. The culture at Feast & Fettle is what sets us apart from any other organization, and in particular from the common pitfalls of the food service industry. We commit every day to fostering a positive and empowering environment where we all are driven to bring our best selves to work and to make the company better each day. Feast & Fettle is also actively growing, and passionate about providing growth opportunities to our employees.

What does a Kitchen Associate at F&F do?

Each day of the weekly production cycle, your Production Chef will work with your team to facilitate the labeling, portioning, and packaging of our menu items (entrees, sides, salads, soups, kids meals, etc). Our Kitchen Associate team transforms the prepared food from our Hot Line into the complete, delivery-ready, fully prepared menu items our members receive for home delivery.

This work includes:

• Prepping workstation and ensuring a high standard of cleanliness in the kitchen
• Following cold line recipes with consistently high attention to detail
• In addition to packaging prepared food from the Hot Line, our Kitchen Associates also prepare and assemble cold menu items such as the Kale Caesar Salad and the Dragonfruit Parfait with Housemade Mango Jam and Cashew Granola
• Attention to product quality from start to finish
• Kitchen Associates play a key part in quality assurance and are responsible for identifying any sub-par quality in the food they are handling to prevent any food items that do not meet the Feast & Fettle standard from leaving the production facility
• Package final product according to packing specifications, including garnishes
• Often working in pairs or teams, Kitchen Associates use packing cards to guide their work according to the intended presentation of a menu item. This can include packing by the each (1-4 chicken breasts) or by the weight (40-160 grams)
• Attention to detail is critical for ensuring that the correct portions are packed into the right container and labeled correctly
• Follow health and safety guidelines
• Temperature check food and log properly
• Assist with cleaning the kitchen and workspace at the end and throughout each shift
• Assist with organization-wide demands of the weekly production cycle, including: labeling and packaging, pro-actively maintaining the F&F standard of cleanliness and organization of our equipment and storage across the facility, and helping coworkers across teams, with an all-hands-on-deck attitude reflective of our We Got You values.
• Embodying our values to be an active contributor to the positive and empowered culture we have at Feast & Fettle
• Conducting yourself with maturity and respect in all interactions with fellow team members

What does a strong applicant for this position have?

Our most successful candidates are not just experienced with food handling, but are also deeply motivated and collaborative, and have a growth mindset that thrives on the momentum, commitment to quality, and positive culture that our team members co-create.
