Job DetailsJob Location: Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107Position Type: SeasonalAbout The Good Table

The Good Table is a restaurant in the heart of Cape Elizabeth — a place to slow down, catch up, and eat something made with care. We serve Bard Coffee, pizzas made to order, and a rotating selection of pastries alongside grab-and-go options for when you're on the move. 

Part of the Prentice Hospitality Group, The Good Table reflects the same commitment to genuine hospitality and quality that the group is known for — just in a quicker fashion.

Position Summary

We’re looking for a skilled, dependable Full-Time Seasonal Cook who thrives in a focused, efficient kitchen environment. This isn’t a full line cook position — it’s about doing a smaller menu exceptionally well. Think freshly built sandwiches, personal pizzas, soups, salads, and lighter plates made with quality ingredients and real attention to detail. If you take pride in your craft and can move with purpose during a busy service, we’d love to have you on the team.

This is a seasonal role starting in June and ending in October. Please note that exact dates may vary. 

Key Responsibilities:

Prepare and assemble menu items to order — sandwiches, pizzas, flatbreads, soups, salads, and rotating seasonal plates
Execute orders accurately and efficiently, maintaining quality and consistency throughout service
Complete daily prep work — slicing, portioning, saucing, and stocking stations before service begins
Follow proper food handling, storage, and temperature guidelines — food safety is non-negotiable
Keep your station clean, organized, and ready — before, during, and at the close of every shift
Monitor inventory, flag low stock, and help minimize waste through smart prep and rotation
Communicate clearly with front-of-house during service to keep things running smoothly 

Qualifications:

At least 1 year of kitchen or food prep experience
Calm and efficient under pressure during a rush
Strong attention to detail and portion consistency
A genuine respect for good ingredients and clean technique
Reliable, punctual, and a solid team player
ServSafe or food handler certification a plus
