Butcher

The Meat Hook
Brooklyn, NY

We are seeking a candidate for this position with whole animal butchery experience.
Fill out this form to apply:


Butchers are responsible for processing and merchandising whole animals including beef, pork, lamb, and poultry. Under the guidance of our Head Butcher, they work to fabricate these animals into retail cuts and value-added products.

Working at The Meat Hook is so much more than breaking down a pig or tying fancy roasts. The best whole animal butchers are those who are just as dedicated to the less-than-glamorous tasks --such as inventory management-- because they know that without that critical consideration, the whole animal model is not sustainable.

Everyone interacts directly with customers to provide engaging service and offer purchasing guidance. They represent the ethos of the company by contributing to an inclusive and informed shopping experience.

We source some of the best produce and grocery around. Butchers spend a portion of their week working in front of the counter to maintain a stocked and attractive retail floor.

Butchers work to maintain a clean and food-safe working environment. This includes daily cleaning tasks and adherence to established SOPs and HACCP monitoring procedures.

Schedule: 40 hours / week

Requirements:

  • Food Protection Certificate from the NYC Department of Health.
  • A positive and committed attitude.


Physical Demands:

  • Be able to lift at least 50 lbs and be able to push/pull a minimum of 25 lbs.
  • Requires grasping, writing, standing, sitting, walking, repetitive motions, bending, climbing, listening and hearing ability, and visual acuity.
  • Talking and hearing occur continuously in the process of communicating with guests, supervisors, and co-workers.
  • Be able to stand and walk for 10 hours or more, 40 hours a week, depending on business needs.


Pay rate:
Entry or apprentice level: $18/ hour
Relevant cooking or kitchen experience: $19/ hour
Relevant butchery experience: $20+/ hour


Benefits:

  • 1 week PTO during your first year of employment, 2 weeks awarded during your second.
  • Paid annual farm trip- company retreat to our farms!
  • $514 per month to subsidize medical, dental, and vision insurance for full-time employees.
  • 50% discount on all purchases at The Meat Hook butcher shop.
  • Discounts at sister restaurant, Cozy Royale.
  • Company-administered commuter benefits and HSA options.


At The Meat Hook, we believe that creating a warm and inclusive work environment is just as important as the work we do. We are committed to building a culture where people feel safe to be themselves at work, and their individuality is celebrated. However you identify, we encourage you to apply! Help us build a community that we are all proud to be a part of.
