About the Role
Rocky Mountain Paddleboard (RMP) is hiring dependable Line Cooks to join our Lakeside Café team at the Boulder Reservoir for the summer season.
This is a straightforward kitchen role focused on executing a fun, summer-inspired menu for guests enjoying a day on the water. You’ll work alongside the Kitchen Lead preparing burgers, hot dogs, fries, and other simple café items while helping keep the kitchen clean, organized, and running smoothly during busy summer weekends.
In addition to daily café service, our kitchen also supports paddle board and athlete events at the Reservoir, where you’ll assist with basic prep and food production based on event menus provided by the team.
Our kitchen operates with a streamlined menu and a team-focused service style, making it a great fit for cooks who enjoy staying active and working in a fast-paced but supportive environment.
This role is also a great opportunity for students or anyone looking for a solid summer kitchen job with consistent hours and no late-night shifts.
At RMP, we operate with our S.T.O.K.E. values — Service, Teamwork, Ownership, Knowledge, and Energy. We’re looking for team members who show up ready to work, support their teammates, and take pride in a clean, organized kitchen.
