WANTED: Kitchen Wizard / Culinary Hero / Cook Extraordinaire
36 Hours Per Week | 3 Days On, 4 Days Off | Full-Time Happiness
Do you enjoy feeding people and hearing things like, “This is actually really good!” while avoiding the soul-crushing reality of a 5-day work week? We may have the perfect gig for you.
Position: Cook
Schedule:
3 days ON
4 glorious days OFF
36 hours per week (full-time, which means BENEFITS!)
(Yes, you read that correctly. No typo. No trickery. Four whole days off with full benefits.)
Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):
• Create delicious meals that residents actually look forward to.
• Follow recipes but be able to improvise when life throws surprises (and this place is full of surprises).
• Make meals with kindness, patience, and maybe a pinch of humor.
You Might Be Our Person If:
• You can cook without setting off the smoke alarm.
• You believe comfort food can solve at least 63% of life’s problems.
• You know the difference between “golden brown” and “call the fire department.”
• You enjoy working independently but still like being part of a team.
• You want to work for the world’s best boss (he made us say that).
What We Offer:
• Four days off every week (seriously, this deserves repeating)
• Residents who will absolutely tell you when they love your soup
• Competitive pay ($22.50-$25/hour) plus full benefits and a $500 sign-on bonus
• The chance to be someone’s favorite part of the day
Apply Today – because life is too short for boring jobs.

If you can follow a recipe and occasionally laugh at kitchen chaos, we’d love to meet you. (Full disclosure – there’s also some daily paperwork involved – Health Department rules).
