    Job Description

    You actually cook. 

    Tired of kitchens that treat line cooks like a number on a schedule? Clara B's Kitchen Table is a scratch kitchen — no shortcuts, no shortcuts culture, no BS. We make everything by hand, we take the food seriously, and we take care of the people who make it.

    If you're the kind of cook who takes pride in what comes off your station — who cares whether the sauce is right, whether the timing is tight, whether the plate looks the way it should — this post is for you. We're not looking for someone to fill a slot. We're looking for someone who wants to be part of something worth showing up for.

    What the work looks like
    • Scratch prep and line service — everything made in-house, every day
    • Multiple stations: grill, sauté, cold line, bakehouse support as needed
    • Follow recipes and plating standards, while bringing your own craft to the work
    • Keep your station tight, clean, and food-safe — always
    • Be part of a team that actually communicates and has each other's backs
    What we're looking for
    • 1+ year of line cook or kitchen experience — more is great, hunger counts for a lot
    • Solid knife skills and confidence with basic and intermediate techniques
    • Ability to stay composed and communicate clearly when service gets real
    • Team-first. Ego stays at the door.
    • You care about the food. That's not optional.

    Full Time - In Person

    $20 - $26 / Hourly

    732 S Illinois St, Belleville, IL
    Job Description

    You don't need a résumé full of titles. You need drive, heart, and the desire to grow into something great.

    About Clara B's

    Clara B's Kitchen Table is a scratch kitchen rooted in Southern food tradition, community, and craft. We operate in Belleville, Illinois as a counter/fast casual concept — meaning our food is made with full-service intention at approachable prices. Our bakehouse fuels our café, catering, and retail channels with everything made from scratch, by hand, with purpose.

    We're building something real here — and we need real people to help lead it.

     

    The Opportunity

    This isn't just a job. It's a leadership path. We're looking for a Kitchen Manager who's ready to grow into the full operational heartbeat of our back of house. You'll work directly with the owner, learn every corner of how we do things, and eventually have your fingerprints on the systems, culture, and food that make Clara B's what it is.

    If you've been the person people turn to in the kitchen — but never had a title to match — this is your chance to make it official.

     

    What You'll Do

            Lead daily kitchen operations from prep through service, keeping things running smooth and standards high

            Train, guide, and build up your team — because good kitchens are made of good people

            Own food quality and consistency — what goes out represents all of us

            Manage inventory, ordering, and waste with an eye toward both quality and cost

            Maintain a clean, safe, organized kitchen that meets health code and Clara B's standards

            Collaborate with the owner on seasonal menus, catering production, and bakehouse output

            Solve problems on your feet and keep the team steady when things get busy

     

    What We're Looking For

    We believe in potential as much as experience. Here's what matters to us:

            You've worked in a kitchen long enough to understand the rhythm — even if you haven't had the "Manager" title yet

            You're a natural at keeping people calm, focused, and working together

            You take pride in food. You notice when something's off. You fix it without being asked.

            You're reliable, consistent, and show up ready

            You can give and receive feedback like a professional

            Serv­Safe certification is a plus — but we'll help you get it if you don't have it

     

    Who We Are

    Clara B's is a place built on love — love for good food, for the people who make it, and for the community we feed. We're a scratch kitchen with a big heart and a clear vision. We don't need perfect backgrounds. We need people who are hungry to grow, proud of their craft, and ready to show up for their team.

    If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
