Culinary Team Member

GIA is a plant-focused Italian restaurant located in the west-end of Toronto, and we are on the grow. We are looking to expand our kitchen team at various levels of experience. GIA is a small team, focused on positive learning experiences, team work and creating a workspace that is inclusive, safe and respectful. We work with local suppliers and are constantly trying to improve our understanding of food systems and what the season offers us.

We offer competitive wages, reasonable shifts and mentorship/support from our entire team. If you are someone looking to further your understanding of making fresh (and handmade) pasta daily, cooking vegetables and becoming a stakeholder in a kitchen, this is the spot for you! We encourage growth, curiosity and personal/professional development at every opportunity; as well as building each individual up to learn to create new dishes and new ideas.

You should be able to learn quickly and be fluid in the kitchen. Being organized, willing to learn and take instruction well is a requirement, as well as understand the pacing of dinner service. We work together as a team to ensure the success of every service. As a group we take pride in and maintain a clean organized work space
