Catering Cook (Charlottesville, VA); Must have commercial or Catering Cook experience

Goodwin William Staffing is seeking Catering Cook candidates with commercial or catering cook experience to join our team and work with our client in Charlottesville, VA.

The following job RESPONSIBILITIES are common for individuals in CATERING COOK roles:

• Prepare large quantities of food to be served at weddings, conventions, meetings, and other large events or gatherings
• Prepare foods of many different types and styles, including entrees, side dishes, appetizers, salads, soups, desserts, and pastries
• Ensure prepared food is stored properly for delivery to the establishment where food is being catered
• Adhere to proper food handling and preparation best practices to prevent foodborne illness
