Fast Food Cook Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last three years behind the grill at a busy shop, where the rush never slowed for long. In that time I helped balance orders, prep work and clean stations so the team could keep service smooth. At peak times we averaged around 180 orders an hour across lunch and dinner, and I kept the line moving by sticking to clear steps and quick checks on tortillas, patties and buns. I’m comfortable with the full fast food kitchen flow, from taking orders and handling payments to cooking and plating. I can run grills, fryers and microwaves, and I understand the importance of consistent portioning, accurate timing and safe food handling. I’ve also helped with receiving deliveries and setting up prep lists to avoid misses or waste, which fits well with a place like [Company Name]. One shift sticks with me: we had a surge after a local event, and we were short on one item. I re-prioritised prep, swapped a couple of tasks to keep the grill cranking, and we still served every guest within five minutes of the last order. The team noted the reduced wait and I kept the work area clean and sanitised as we moved through the rush. I’m available to chat about how I can fit into your kitchen and help keep service steady during busy periods. I’m happy to discuss availability and the role at [Company Name] in more detail. Kind regards, [Your Name]
