Prep Cook Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve built a solid routine in the back of house by focusing on consistent prep, clean mise en place and efficient portioning. In my last role I helped cut prep times by about 15 minutes per service once we standardised vegetable washing and storage. I’m comfortable with you using a range of tools, from portion scales to sharp knives, and I keep a close eye on stock levels to avoid waste. I’m interested in [Company Name] because you prioritise consistency across the line and good storage practices. My experience includes bulk ingredient processing, trimming and portioning proteins, and organising overnight perishables. I am practical about day-to-day tasks and I work well with a team to keep service smooth and foods safe. A recent shift gave me a chance to tighten down on storage flow after a busy weekend. I reorganised the walk-in so sauces and marinades stayed at the right cold chain temperature and used labelled containers to reduce mix-ups. The result was fewer mislabelled items and a quicker handover to the line during peak service. I’m available for a chat to discuss how I can contribute to your kitchen. If you’d like to talk, I can be reached at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
