Line Cook – Fast, Focused, and Proud of the Plate

Join the team at A&W Food Services of Canada and be part of something bigger than just cooking — be part of a team that sets the standard.

We’re looking for a driven, detail-oriented Line Cook who thrives in a fast-paced kitchen, takes pride in every plate, and doesn’t need to be told twice. If you move with purpose, care about quality, and hold yourself to a high standard — this is your environment.

What You’ll Be Doing (aka, Owning Your Station)
  • Prepare menu items quickly, accurately, and to A&W standards every time
  • Deliver hot, fresh food with consistency and pride
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and food-safe workspace at all times
  • Work seamlessly with your team to stay ahead of the rush
  • Monitor product freshness and follow FIFO (first in, first out) practices
  • Uphold all food safety and sanitation standards without compromise
What Sets You Apart

We’re not looking for average — we’re building award-winning kitchens.

You’re someone who:

  • Takes real pride in the food you put out
  • Moves with urgency, focus, and intention
  • Notices when something’s off — and fixes it without being asked
  • Keeps your station tight, clean, and fully stocked
  • Performs under pressure without losing quality or attitude
  • Shows up ready to contribute, every single shift
Why You’ll Want to Work Here
  • Competitive wages
  • Flexible scheduling — we respect your life outside of work
  • Build skills that go beyond the kitchen:
  • Teamwork
  • Time management
  • Working efficiently under pressure
  • Work with a company that stands for:
  • Real, quality ingredients
  • Doing the right thing for people and the environment
  • Be part of a team that is fast, focused, and takes pride in what they do
  • Opportunities to grow for those who show consistency and leadership
The Standard Here

We move fast.

We stay clean.

We hold the line on quality.

We don’t wait to be told — we take ownership.

Bottom Line

If you want to work in a kitchen where:

  • Standards matter
  • Effort is noticed
  • Pride in your work is expected

You’ll fit right in.

Apply now and show us what you bring to the line.


REQUIREMENTS
  • Ability to work on your feet for long periods of time
  • Comfortable working with a team in a fast-paced kitchen environment
  • Excellent verbal communication and organizational skills
  • Must be able to lift 50 pounds
  • Must be team oriented
  • Must be at least 15 years old to work in the kitchen
  • Full online and hands on training provided

Working at A&W Food Services of Canada is about more than just serving great burgers — it’s about being part of something bigger.

When you join our team, you’re on the front lines of a brand that continues to raise the standard in fast food. From eliminating plastic straws, to serving root beer made with all-natural flavours, to leading the way with plant-based options like the Beyond Meat Burger — we don’t wait for change… we lead it.

We’re committed to doing what’s right for our food, our people, our communities, and our environment — and we’re looking for team members who take that same pride in how they show up every day.

Who We’re Looking For

We don’t just hire anyone.

We’re building award-winning teams made up of people who:

  • Take real pride in their work
  • Show initiative without needing constant direction
  • Care about the details that others overlook
  • Bring strong, positive energy to every shift
  • Hold themselves to a high standard — because they want to, not because they’re told to

If you’re someone who wants to be part of a team that stands out, performs at a high level, and supports each other, you’ll thrive here.
