Full job description

The Distillery Restaurants Corp. (DRC) is actively seeking Line Cooks and Senior Line Cooks to join our Festivals Back of House Team to keep the outdoor areas of the Distillery District busy (and fed!) throughout the season! This job is available now, and it continues until the end of our Winter Village, wrapping up in January 2027.

Your restaurant is the entire Distillery Historic District, one of Canada's most exciting art and shopping destinations and home to some of the top-ranked events and festivals in the City of Toronto – including the Winter Village! Each of our events is unique as we cater to the vibe of the festival, be it a country music festival, Whiskyfest, a film festival, Canada Day – you name it! 

Please note: You must already have legal permission to work in Canada to be considered for these roles. This position is for an existing, open vacancy, and a human will be selecting resumes for interview – not AI.

Please also note, you must have legal permission to work in Canada to be considered for this role.  This is a seasonal role running until January 2027.

What you’ll experience with The DRC: 
  • $20 - $22 per hour, plus tips
  • In-house dining perks
  • A dynamic culture that encourages and rewards the entrepreneurial spirit
  • Bold and lively work environment
  • The chance to work alongside the best team in the city during the Winter Village, making memories for the more than 650,000 visitors we host!
  • The Greatest Dish Challenge! You’ll have the opportunity to join a cooking contest, competing with fellow Cooks throughout The DRC, showing what you can do for the Chefs & judges, all while winning prizes and getting your name on the coveted trophy!
  • Field Trips! That’s right! From time to time, there will be trips to local farms and businesses where we source our proteins and produce – get the chance to see the work that goes into the food long before our work goes into the food!


What you’ll be doing:
  • Preparing food according to recipes, portion controls and presentation specifications as set out by our Executive Chef.
  • Infusing care for the customer experience and the restaurant’s reputation in every dish.
  • Operating standard kitchen equipment with caution.
  • Maintaining clean and organized stations.
  • Following FIFO method to maximize product freshness.
  • Moving food products and supplies between outlets when necessary.
  • Reporting any equipment/utensil malfunctions/deficiencies to Chef on duty.
  • Working collaboratively with BOH team members.
  • Being kind and supportive with your colleagues on every shift. 
  • Other duties/responsibilities as assigned.

What you’ll bring to the kitchen:
  • EXPERIENCE. You have several years of professional cooking experience, ideally in Banquets/Events and/or Festival settings, but the setting isn’t a requirement. 
  • PASSION. You have a genuine passion and drive to create – both great food and great experiences for our customers. 
  • EDUCATION/TRAINING. You have a culinary degree/diploma and/or the equivalent in education and experience. 
  • TEAMWORK. You pride yourself in being able to collaborate with others and working happily in a team environment. 
  • COMMUNICATION SKILLS. You demonstrate great relationship building and communication skills among your team members in both BOH and FOH.
  • ADAPTABILITY. You thrive in a fast-paced, changing environment.
