We are hiring in Albany, NY
Come build the
kitchen with us.
Olive & Oregano is staffing up at 51 S Pearl Street. Two kitchens, Dominican and Greek, open 24 hours Monday through Saturday. Takeout, delivery and catering.
What is different here
Built before it opens
You will be trained before you are thrown in
We are not opening the doors and figuring it out on the floor. The systems are being built now, and they get pressure tested with the team trained on them before a single customer walks up.
There are SOPs, and they are real
Every station has a way it is done. That is not bureaucracy, it is the difference between a shift that runs and a shift that runs you. If you have worked somewhere that made it up as it went, you already know the difference.
Two cuisines, cooked properly
Dominican and Greek, each honored on its own. Nothing is fused to make it easier. You will learn both if you want to.
Downtown, next to the arena
51 S Pearl Street, steps from MVP Arena. Busy, and busy in a way you can plan around.
Open roles
Who we are hiring
Full and part time. We run three shifts a day, six days a week, so overnight and weekend availability is genuinely useful.
The kitchen
Two kitchens, Dominican and Greek, each cooked on its own terms and never fused.
Prep cook
Batch cooking and mise en place. This is the work the whole operation stands on, and it is done to a system, not from memory.
Line cook
Cooking to order across both kitchens. Home-style Dominican plates on one side, fresh Greek on the other.
Dishwasher and kitchen porter
Keeping a 24-hour kitchen clean and stocked. It is the role that decides whether every other role can do its job.
Getting orders out the door
We are takeout, delivery and catering. Almost every order leaves the building, so nobody catches a mistake at a table.
Order packer
Assembling, checking, bagging and sealing every order. In a business like ours this is not a support job. It is the last set of eyes between the kitchen and the customer.
Counter
Pickup handoffs, walk-ins, and phone orders. The only face most customers ever see, so it matters who has it.
Running the place
Open 24 hours, Monday through Saturday. Every shift needs somebody who owns it.
Shift lead
Running a shift end to end: pace, quality, handover, and the calls that cannot wait for a manager.
Kitchen manager
Ordering, inventory, food cost, scheduling, and holding the standard when nobody is watching.
Catering
Already running, ahead of the full opening.
Catering coordinator
Private parties and group orders. Different lead times, different packing, different customers from the takeout line.
How to apply
One short form. That is it.
Tell us who you are, which role you are after, and when you can work. No cover letter, and you do not need a printed resume to start the conversation. If it looks like a fit we will call you.
Experience helps, but it is not the only thing we are looking at. Some of these roles we will train. Tell us what you have done and what you want to learn.
Want to deliver instead?
Delivery is a separate, independent contractor opportunity. You keep the whole fee and the whole tip.
We open soon
The people we hire now are the ones who open the doors with us.
