About Us
At Prado, the good starts here. We serve exceptional coffee, homemade brunch, and baked treats while creating a warm, community-driven space. Our team is all about quality food, great coffee, and genuine hospitality.
The Role
We’re looking for a weekend cook who’s quick on their feet and loves making great food look (and taste) amazing. This role is perfect for someone with kitchen chops who thrives in a fast-paced, positive vibe and appreciates a well-run, organized kitchen.
What You’ll Do:
*Cook and plate our brunch menu (think poached eggs, grilled sandwiches, perfect persentation) for dine-in and takeout orders (including Uber & Ritual).
*Handle kitchen prep, some light baking, and cookie scooping.
*Keep the kitchen clean and organized (sanitizing, dishes, sweeping, mopping).
*Follow all food safety and hygiene standards (gloves, handwashing, FIFO, the works).
*Help keep inventory stocked and fresh; flag ordering needs to the Manager.
*Team Collaboration - jump in and help wherever needed—teamwork makes the dream work.
What We’re Looking For:
*Kitchen or culinary school experience, ideally in a busy café or brunch spot.
*Food Safe Level 1 (or ready to get certified).
*Reliable, positive attitude - you show up and get the job done.
*Comfortable working independently and communicating well with the FOH team.
*Able to handle the physical side (on your feet, lifting up to 25 lbs, etc.).
*Availability on weekends (bonus if you can cover other shifts sometimes).
What’s in it for You:
*Competitive hourly pay + tips
*Staff meals and all the coffee you need on shift
*A supportive, friendly team that values respect and growth
*Opportunities to move up as Prado grows
If you’re ready to bring your culinary skills to the next level and join an exciting team, we want to hear from you!
From the early days as a single shop on Commercial Drive, Prado Cafe has been proudly serving coffee to Vancouverites each day. Our dedication to the craft of coffee and to our customers shines through at each neighbourhood cafe.
