Chester’s Chicken Cook
The Chester’s Chicken counter inside GS Truck Stop is hiring a cook. Chester’s is a brand program with real specifications — breading, fry times and hold times are all set, and following them exactly is most of the job.
Hours
The Chester’s counter is open 10 AM to 2 AM, seven days a week. Full-time and part-time day, evening and late shifts are available. Online ordering runs 10 AM to 10 PM daily and is busiest around meal times.
What you will do
- Bread, fry and hold chicken, tenders, wings and sides to Chester’s brand specifications.
- Follow hold times and discard rules exactly, so nothing goes out to a customer past its hold time.
- Keep fryers, oil filtration, prep surfaces and the hot case clean and in working order.
- Record temperatures and complete the food-safety logs on every shift.
- Build online orders accurately and get them on the pickup shelf on time for customers and delivery drivers.
- Keep the counter stocked with sides, sauces, cups and packaging.
What we are looking for
- At least 18.
- Comfortable working around fryers and hot oil, on your feet for a full shift, lifting up to 40 pounds.
- Able to follow a recipe card and a hold-time chart precisely — the brand standard is not negotiable.
- Careful about cleanliness and food safety.
- A food handler certificate is a plus; we will help you get one if you do not have it.
Education
