About Hy-Vee

At Hy-Vee, we believe the shortest distance between two people is a smile. We're seeking people with a passion for customer service, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to being part of a team that strives to make our customers' lives easier, healthier and happier.

The Role and Why It's Important

Our Breakfast Cooks are the heart of the Market Grille morning operation, preparing a wide variety of hot and cold breakfast items that fuel our customers' days.

Maintain strict adherence to personal hygiene, dress standards, and all Hy-Vee policies and store guidelines

Report to work when scheduled and on time

Your Skills

Solve practical problems and interpret instructions across a variety of situations with limited standardization

Perform simple addition and subtraction, copy figures, and count and record accurately

Understand and follow verbal or demonstrated directions and communicate supply needs orally or in writing

Where applicable to the role: ability to operate a delivery vehicle in accordance with applicable DOT standards

Perform repetitive standing, walking, reaching, and bending associated with order fulfillment, POS transactions, and cleaning/sanitation duties

Working Environment

This is a fast-paced role in a kitchen environment where you will be on your feet throughout your shift. You will have frequent exposure to cool and warm temperatures, dampness, equipment noise and vibrations, possible equipment movement hazards from slicers and choppers, and daily exposure to cleaning chemicals or solvents.
