Lead / Prep Cook Job Description

 

About:

Maydan Market, part of the No White Plates collective, is an experience-driven venue where rich traditions and exceptional hospitality converge. Our mission is to create an inviting workplace culture grounded in thoughtful communication, respect, and a commitment to excellence. We believe that a remarkable dining, beverage, and event experience begins with hiring and training motivated individuals who embody empathy and a strong work ethic. Our menu is an homage to the people who taught us about their heritage from across Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Lebanon, and the Republic of Georgia, showcasing superior food and beverage products sourced from dedicated vendors. At Maydan, we strive to inspire and empower our team, fostering a supportive and safe environment with benefits like paid time off, healthcare, and extensive educational opportunities

We want you to have a different approach to dining: one that’s about the food, but also thelove, respect, and traditions that go into each dish. Our food tells the story of our own travels, from Tangier to Tehran and Batumi to Beirut, but it also tells the story of voices that often go unheard. We traveled to five different countries while creating the menu for Maydan: Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Lebanon and the Republic of Georgia. When we traveled, we were invited to sit and break bread with strangers, listenedto stories and learned tried and true techniques. We felt welcomed, embraced, and valued, quickly becoming part of their families. We want you to feel that every time you visit.

 

When you enter our town square—our “Maydan”—we want you to feel a sense of wonder. We want you to forget what you know and be ready to learn new things. And we’ll be there with you for every bite. You’ll feel like you’ve met new friends—who will guide you through the square to a table full of dishes. Dips, spreads, salads, condiments, roasted and grilled meats, and seafood coming together in unison. Just remember, there is no wrong way to go about this.

 

The centerpiece of every table is the bread, which we make to order in Maydan’s clay ovens. It is an accumulation of everything we love about the regions we focus on: bread brings the meal together and bread brings people together. We want you to use your hands, making the bread your utensil. Share with your neighbor, break bread with your family and friends.
