cafeteria cook
School kitchen worker
A cafeteria cook prepares food in large quantities for institutional settings—schools, hospitals, workplaces, or military facilities.
The work emphasizes efficiency and volume over fine cuisine: The cafeteria cook had three hundred lunches ready by noon.
The role typically involves following standardized recipes and managing steam tables rather than creative menu development.
