Job Description

Join the Mama’s Java Family – Line Cook (Breakfast & Lunch Only!)

Nolensville, TN | Locally Owned Since 2010

About Us

Mama’s Java Cafe isn’t just a coffee shop — we’re a family. Since opening our doors in 2010, we’ve been serving up fresh, made-to-order breakfast and lunch, air-roasted coffee (roasted right here in-house), and a whole lot of Southern hospitality. Our kitchen is built on teamwork, laughter, and pride in what we serve. We believe work should fit into your life — not take it over.

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • No late nights — ever. We’re a breakfast & lunch cafe. Your evenings are yours.
  • Flexible scheduling to fit your life and commitments.
  • Family-run & community-focused — you’re more than just a number here.
  • Supportive, drama-free kitchen where everyone has each other’s back.

The Role

We’re looking for a reliable, upbeat Line Cook who loves working in a fast-paced but friendly kitchen. You’ll prepare fresh dishes to order, keep things organized and clean, and help lead by example — especially for our younger staff.

What You’ll Do

  • Cook made-to-order breakfast & lunch (no fryers — just fresh!)
  • Work with the team to handle dine-in, drive-thru, and online orders
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe kitchen
  • Help manage prep, inventory, and ingredient freshness
  • Pitch in wherever needed to keep things running smoothly

Perks & Benefits

  • Flexible schedule — ideal for parents, students, or anyone who values work-life balance
  • Paid training & room to grow
  • Discounted food & coffee (your caffeine budget just got smaller)
  • Tips + bonus opportunities
  • Referral rewards for bringing in other great people
  • Management who actually work alongside you and care about your well-being

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in a café or breakfast/lunch kitchen is a plus
  • Solid time management & communication skills
  • Ability to work quickly without sacrificing quality
  • Team-oriented with a positive attitude
  • Early riser who enjoys having afternoons free
  • Rate of pay is $15/hr during training; higher pay available after training for candidates with prior cooking experience

Ready to Join Us?

Come work where your evenings are free, your ideas are valued, and your team feels like family. Apply today and let’s make great food together.
