We at Bettina are currently looking to hire a talented and experienced lead line cook to join our kitchen team and work directly with our head chef and executive sous chef on big projects and menu expansion. 

We're looking for cooks who share our passion for great food, cooking and hospitality. The range of responsibilities for this position will include food prep, inventory managment, and cooking on the line. Applicant should be comfortable taking direction from superiors and delegating tasks to other cooks while staying focused on maintaing consistency and quality control. Our main priority is to provide a positive working environment for the team. Any applicant should have at least two years of line cook experience. 

Seasonality is an extremely important element to our restaurant. We get the majority of our produce from the SBCFM twice a week, where we shop directly. Applicant should have experience or a passion for seasonal Italian cooking and be excited to continuously learn new dishes and techniques.

Located in Santa Barbara in the historic Montecito Country Mart and a half mile from Butterfly Beach, Bettina is a neighborhood restaurant serving naturally leavened wood-fired pizzas and simple, seasonal Italian-inspired fare. Bettina was opened by Rachel Greenspan and Brendan Smith in October of 2018. The husband-and-wife team moved to Santa Barbara County in 2014 from New York City, where Rachel worked in specialty food sales and Brendan worked as the head baker at Roberta’s pizza in Brooklyn. After catering with their mobile wood-fired pizza oven for several years, the restaurant is the next step in the couple’s mission to build community through hospitality and good food.

If you're ready to be a part of an exciting project with a dynamic, creative team we would love to hear from you.
