Job Title: Line Cook

Company: Perkins Restaurant & Bakery – JDK Management

Location: Middleburg Heights, OH

Pay: $12 – 16 per hour

AI Pay Analysis: The hourly rate of $12 to $16 for a line cook position in Middleburg Heights, OH, is generally on the lower end of the spectrum compared to national averages for similar roles. As of 2023, the average hourly wage for line cooks in the U.S. typically ranges from $13 to $20, depending on experience and location, with some urban areas and high-demand establishments offering even higher rates. In Ohio, this pay rate might be somewhat competitive for entry-level or less experienced cooks, but it may not attract skilled cooks or those with more experience who often seek out wages closer to or above $16 per hour. Thus, while the pay is feasible, it may not sufficiently align with the rising costs of living and the competitive nature of the hospitality industry.
