Line Cook

About this position

At Mythily, we're telling the stories of South India through seasonal ingredients, thoughtful cooking, and genuine hospitality.

Inspired by generations of home cooks and shaped by years of research throughout Tamil Nadu and neighboring states, Mythily is a progressive South Indian restaurant rooted in tradition, seasonality, creativity while looking forward. We're a small team building something meaningful from the ground up, and we're looking for people who are excited to grow with us.

We're searching for cooks who care deeply about ingredients, craft, and teamwork. Experience matters, but curiosity, humility, and a willingness to learn matter just as much.

You don't need to know South Indian cuisine to join us. What matters most is that you're excited to learn, work hard, and contribute to a culture built on respect and continuous improvement.

• Prepare and cook menu items according to the standards established by the chef team.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient station throughout service.
• Properly receive, label, rotate, and store products.
• Assist with prep and station setup before service.
• Execute service with urgency, consistency, and attention to detail.
• Communicate clearly and work collaboratively with the kitchen and front-of-house teams.
• Follow all sanitation, food safety, and health department standards.
• Contribute to a positive and supportive work environment.

• 1-3 years of experience in a professional kitchen is preferred.
• Strong work ethic and a sense of urgency.
• Organized and detail-oriented.
• Ability to stay calm and focused during busy services.
• Team-first mentality with a positive attitude.
• Curious and eager to learn.
• Flexible availability, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
• Ability to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 pounds.

• Curiosity over ego.
• Craft and consistency.
• Kindness and respect.
• Ownership and accountability.
• Continuous learning.
• Building each other up.

We believe in taking care of our team and offering compensation that reflects experience, growth, and contribution. In addition to competitive pay, team members enjoy family meals, paid sick time, dining discounts, and opportunities for continued learning and development.

Compensation is commensurate with experience and will be discussed during the interview process.

We're building more than a restaurant. We're building a team of people who genuinely care about food, hospitality, and one another.

You'll have opportunities to grow alongside the restaurant, participate in tastings and ongoing education, and help shape what Mythily becomes.

If you're excited by thoughtful cooking, seasonal ingredients, and being part of something from day one, we'd love to hear from you.
