About CookUnity :

Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, it has lost the power to nourish, inspire, and connect us. So in 2018, CookUnity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food : chefs. Today, CookUnity delivers 50 million meals a year from the industry's best chefs to homes all over the country. Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.

Unwilling to stop there, CookUnity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission : empower Chefs to nourish the world.

If that mission has you hungry in more ways than one, you've found the right job posting.

Job Overview :

CookUnity is seeking a proactive and hands-on Culinary Operations Lead to help manage daily culinary activities, enforce food safety practices, and ensure recipe execution meets our established standards. The Culinary Operations Lead will support Supervisors and kitchen teams in maintaining operational efficiency, quality control, and a collaborative kitchen environment.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Support accurate stock rotation using FIFO practices and flag expiration risks.
  • Detect operational issues, equipment malfunctions, or process deviations and report in real time.
  • Assist Supervisors in recording production data, ensuring batch tracking and shift documentation are accurate.
  • Monitor correct equipment usage and report any malfunctions to the appropriate departments.
  • Foster a respectful and team-oriented work environment, addressing conflicts when needed.
  • Support internal audits and help implement immediate corrective actions during inspections.

Qualifications :

  • 1-2 years of experience in a high-volume culinary or food production environment.
  • Strong understanding of basic culinary techniques, food safety, and kitchen operations.
  • Ability to multitask and work effectively under pressure.
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills.
  • Attention to detail and commitment to maintaining high standards of quality and hygiene.
  • Flexibility to work varying shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
  • Bilingual (English & Spanish) preferred.
  • Food Handler Certification required or must be obtained within 30 days of hire.
  • CookUnity is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are dedicated to creating a community of inclusion and an environment free from discrimination or harassment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, citizenship status, protected veteran status, genetic information, or physical or mental disability.

    Compensation All final pay rates will be determined by candidates experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of the applicant, internal equity, and alignment with market data.

    Pay Range for this position

    $20—$22 USD

    If you're interested in this role, please submit your application, and if we think you might be a fit, we'll get in touch with you. Thank you for your time!

    A quick note for all candidates

    We've recently seen an increase in recruitment scams across the industry, and we want to make sure you (and your data) stay safe while applying to CookUnity. We also want you to know that we take this seriously — sometimes, as part of our process, we may ask for a brief "proof of humanity" to confirm that we're connecting with a real person, not an impersonator. Here are a few tips to help you protect yourself and know what to expect from us :

  • Apply only through our official channels. All open roles are listed on our official careers page : careers.cookunity.com
  • Our recruiters are real people — and easy to verify. You can always find them on LinkedIn with verified profiles. If you're unsure, feel free to reach out to us on our official LinkedIn Company Page.
  • We only communicate through official CookUnity channels. That means emails ending in @cookunity.com and interviews held through official company platforms (Google Meet or Zoom) — never WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS.
  • We'll never ask for payment or personal financial details. If anyone does, please don't share any information and let us know right away.
  • If something ever feels off or you're unsure about a message, we'd much rather you double-check with us. You can always contact us directly through any of our social media channels. We appreciate your interest in joining CookUnity — and we care about keeping your experience (and safety) as genuine as possible.
