It’s time to find another oven person — it’s been Derek since the apartment days, but he might get hit by a bus tomorrow and then what. It’s not hard, but it’s not not hard — it’s managing the cook on every pizza that goes out the door. It’s a skin temp of 100°. It’s the weekly burn because you didn’t get the pot holder just right.
It’ll likely start with a brand new day of being open (Monday?). For the oven person, the shift starts around 3pm with station setup; active service runs from open at 4pm to about 9 or 9:30pm.
You know when a pizza is done. You know when one needs another minute. You can speed-fold boxes once the 50 pre-folds are gone. If you haven’t done this before but you’re fast and attentive, we can work with that.
The oven is hot and you’re working with metal pans. I (Derek) personally use pot holders and rotate them constantly — roughly every 30 seconds — to keep hands from getting too hot. If you have preferred tools or equipment, we’re happy to get them for you.
This is a physically demanding job. You will be tired at the end of a shift. Burns happen occasionally. It’s also a sense of impending, non-stop doom during rushes. You’re good with that.
Starts at $25/hr plus tips, and goes up as you get comfortable — reading the cook, managing the flow, and keeping up with a full oven.
