Junior Culinary Administrative Support (Temporary)

About the Team:

We support the onboarding of chefs and their recipes into the CookUnity platform. Our focus is on translating chef-created recipes into accurate, structured data within our internal systems so meals can move efficiently from concept to production. This team sits at the intersection of culinary creativity and operational execution, ensuring every recipe is entered correctly, consistently, and on time.

About the Role:

As a Junior Culinary Administrative Support, you will focus on the accurate entry and setup of new chef recipes within CookUnity’s internal recipe management systems. This is an execution-focused role designed for someone early in their culinary or food operations career who enjoys detailed, process-driven work.

Working from clearly defined inputs and established processes, you’ll enter recipes into CookUnity’s systems and perform structured checks to ensure accuracy across key data points, including ingredient lists, recipe yields, portioning, cost inputs, and nutritional fields. You’ll follow standard workflows to validate information, flag inconsistencies, and prepare complete, system-ready recipes for handoff to downstream teams.

This is a remote, part-time, temporary position. The role requires approximately 4 hours per day, with a schedule that overlaps with U.S. West Coast working hours, for an estimated 3-month duration.
