About Eckhart Beer Company:  Eckhart Beer Co. is a new, 8000-square-foot 10bbl brewery and taproom in Brooklyn, specializing in European- style lagers. Eckhart will bring the best of the European lager beer tradition–from raw ingredients, to brewing process, to hospitality–to the heart of Brooklyn. Eckhart will embrace a “narrow-but-deep” approach to the craft brewing movement, featuring a small range of beers but focusing on perfection, tradition, and authenticity at all levels. Eckhart will have a fully built-out, 100-seat taproom with a full kitchen, and we intend to create a welcoming and convivial space that is a destination for casual beer drinkers and aficionados alike.  The heart of Eckhart’s menu is food that goes well with beer and brings people together. We aim to reflect a thoughtful, concise and seasonally relevant approach to food that supports the quality and style of beer being brewed and served. The food program strives to find a through-line from the brewery to the taproom using both ingredients found in beer as well as byproducts of the brewing process along with fresh, interesting and quality ingredients to make a complete dining experience with a respect to the culinary heritage of those regions where these beers have been traditionally brewed.  Job Description: Prep Cook Who We Are Looking For Experienced prep cooks are preferred, but a willingness to learn is also valued A strong desire to learn and develop alongside our growing team Flexible availability, as our business will be expanding Ability to work nights and weekends Ability to manage high-pressure situations calmly and effectively Ability to work collaboratively and foster a positive environment Strong attention to detail Legal documentation of US work status is non-negotiable NYC Food Handler's License is a plus Responsibilities Maintaining a professional and respectful demeanor at all times Arriving to work punctually and dressed in the required uniform, including non-slip shoes, pants, snap shirt, apron, and hat or hairnet Setting up your station with sanitizer buckets and rags Keeping knives sharp and tools clean Cleaning work areas Breaking down stations and cleaning the kitchen before lunch break Breaking down stations and cleaning the kitchen at closing time Participating in deep cleaning on a weekly/monthly basis Maintaining temperature logs for refrigeration and cooking proteins Understanding all menu items and prepping them accordingly Following prep lists provided by chefs and creating prep lists as needed Assisting in receiving deliveries and properly storing food in the walk-in Cleaning all produce and stocking it using FIFO Preparing items for overnight stock Preparing items in batches to prevent waste Following recipes as instructed by the chef Labeling all items properly with name and date Minimizing waste to control cost and product loss Composting vegetable and protein waste according to the chef's instructions Documenting waste in logs Reporting any 86'd items to the chef or sous chef Working effectively in a fast-paced environment Communicating effectively and respectfully with all staff Ability to lift 50lbs.
