Company: Torchy’s Tacos

AI Pay Analysis: The hourly rate of $12 for a Line Cook position in Columbus, OH is generally below the competitive market rate for this role. As of recent data, the average pay for line cooks in the area typically ranges from $13 to $17 per hour, depending on experience and restaurant type. Factors such as the cost of living in Columbus and the skills required for various cooking methods (frying, grilling, sautéing, steaming, etc.) further underscore that $12 is not fully aligned with industry standards. Therefore, the offered rate may struggle to attract skilled candidates, particularly those familiar with a range of cooking techniques, in a competitive labor market.
