New Job Gifts Desk Plates for Line Cooks
Fresh start. New badge. Same existential dread but in a different building. The perfect desk plates for the line cooks in your life.
Why Desk Plates for Line Cooks
Line cooking is the backbone of every restaurant. You're underpaid, overheated, and somehow still proud of every plate.
That generic nameplate on your desk says 'Account Manager' but your soul says 'Professional Email Ignorer.' Our desk plates bridge that gap. They're the perfect blend of professional enough to stay on your desk and honest enough to make your coworkers snort-laugh. Finally, a nameplate that tells the truth.
About New Job Gifts
Starting a new job is equal parts exciting and terrifying. They've got new names to remember, a new coffee machine to figure out, and approximately 47 logins to set up. While everyone else is giving them generic 'good luck!' vibes, you can give them something that acknowledges the beautiful disaster of week one. Because nothing says 'I believe in you' like a gift that also says 'this is going to be chaos.'
