🚨Help Wanted: Paid Culinary Contract (Pop-Up Menu R&D & Event Execution)🚨
We are gearing up for an upcoming Pop-Up Tasting in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, and I’m looking for a skilled, passionate Pitmaster or Lead Cook who wants a creative canvas and a ground-floor entry into a growing brand.
Schedule:
R&D / Testing: 1 session every 2 weeks (approx. 4–6 hours each) over 4–6 weeks.
Pop-Up Events: 2–3 live pop-up event days following R&D to showcase the finished product and build local buzz.
Pay & Terms:
$400 Flat Day-Rate paid per session/event day for prep, testing, and service execution.
100% Covered Costs: All food, ingredients, and R&D expenses are fully funded out-of-pocket by the founder.
Great opportunity for experienced pitmasters looking for extra contract shifts or advanced culinary talent with solid BBQ experience.
What I’m Looking For:
Fire-Management Experience: Hands-on skill with offset wood setups, commercial smokers, and commissary kitchen execution.
Flawless Execution: Ability to bring locked-in recipes, craft rubs, and botanical sauce profiles to high culinary standards.
Collaborative Mindset: You manage the pit and kitchen execution—I handle Front of House, guest experience, and brand vision.
What’s In It For You:
Guaranteed competitive pay with zero out-of-pocket risk.
Creative collaboration during menu scaling and testing.
Priority consideration / first right of refusal for a permanent lead role as we scale toward our brick-and-mortar launch.
