Part-Time Line Cook
Employer: Wegmans Food Markets (partner listing)
Location: Richmond, VA (in-person; local to store)
Pay: $16.50–$17.00 / hour; Bonus up to $500 for new hires
Type: Part-time line cook / food service
What You’ll Do:
Join Wegmans’ culinary team preparing menu items for hot-food bars and prepackaged meals. You’ll follow recipes and portioning standards, perform prep and plating tasks, maintain a clean and safe workstation, assist with inventory and ordering, and work with chefs to deliver high-quality meal experiences during busy service periods.
Why It Stands Out:
• Strong employer reputation—Wegmans consistently ranks among best places to work.
• Career development—scholarship programs and internal promotion paths for employees who want to grow in culinary roles.
• Benefits for eligible employees: PTO, health care options, 401(k) with match, premium pay for overtime/Sundays/holidays, and the LiveWell Employee & Family program.
• Immediate hiring and multiple openings in the area—good for fast placement.
Potential Trade-offs:
• Modest hourly pay for foodservice work—$16.50–$17.00/hr (confirm exact rate for your location).
• Part-time schedule with likely evening, weekend, and holiday shifts.
• Fast-paced and physical work—must handle peak service periods and standing for long shifts.
• In-person only—must be local and able to commit to the store schedule.
