Line Cook – Lunch Service

Carlino Restaurant & Bar | Hyatt Vancouver Downtown Alberni

At Carlino, we bring Northern Italian (Friulian-inspired) cuisine to life through the lens of the Pacific Northwest—celebrating seasonality, craftsmanship, and exceptional local product. Recognized for our culinary excellence and embedded within a luxury hotel environment, we operate to Michelin-recognized standards with Forbes-level service expectations.

We are seeking a driven, passionate Line Cook to join our lunch team—someone ready to grow, learn, and contribute to a high-performance kitchen.

This is an ideal role for a developing cook (3–5 years experience) looking to:

• Work with premium local ingredients (Organic Ocean seafood, Two Rivers meats, foraged products)
• Execute a refined, ingredient-driven menu rooted in Northern Italian tradition
• Develop under strong culinary leadership in a structured, standards-driven kitchen
• Be part of a team committed to excellence, growth, and professionalism

You will be working a focused, high-execution menu including:

• Handmade pastas (rigatoni ragù, squid ink bigoli, cjarsons, gnocchi)
• Refined antipasti (burrata ripiena, frico friulano, anchovy bruschetta)
• Composed secondi (ossobuco, lamb chops, wild salmon, lingcod)
• Seasonal, local, and foraged ingredients executed with precision

This is a fast-paced but controlled service environment—quality, consistency, and timing are everything.

• 3–5 years experience in a professional kitchen
• A true passion for food and hospitality
• Strong fundamentals: knife skills, station organization, cleanliness
• Ability to work clean, fast, and with intent
• A mindset of accountability, humility, and continuous improvement
• Someone who wants to be part of a team—not just a job

• Execute dishes to exacting Carlino standards
• Maintain a clean, organized, and disciplined station
• Support mise en place and prep for service
• Communicate clearly with sous chefs and expo
• Contribute to a positive, professional kitchen culture

• $22+/hour + tip pool (based on experience)
• Staff meals
• Opportunity for growth within a recognized culinary program
• Work alongside a passionate, high-level team
• Exposure to Michelin-calibre systems and execution

We are a team of professionals who care deeply about what we do.

We believe in:

• High standards without ego
• Accountability and consistency
• Respect for product, team, and guests
• Pushing ourselves every day to be better

This is not an average kitchen.

We are building something meaningful—and we want people who want to be part of that.
