I cooked for over half my life. I bet the highest they’d offer me is $17 with no benefits, and I’d have to open my schedule to them. While doing everything above a line cook’s responsibilities.
That sign on bonus is bogus, they never pay. Unless you get cash in hand that day? You’ll get screwed out somehow. You didn’t work enough hrs/you missed a day/they hired more people and aren’t desperate anymore so fuck you. Almost as dirty as putting “hiring sous chef” in the ad and saying “well actually we just want a cook”.
Nah. Get any other job. Anything that values experience. The culinary industry spends so much time telling everyone they suck, that they’re actually surprised no one wants to be abused for a shit living. If they’re advertising on Reddit?! Eek. Red Flag. Do something better with your life kids.

Agree with everything else you said, but I'm honestly all for posting open positions in local subreddits. Go wherever people are.

Shows desperation, same with Facebook posts. Plenty of places to hire from, separate from your advertising venues. Social media is a different market. Mixed between posts of advertising specials and showing off is a constant “Now Hiring” like it’s new. Regulars remember how many times they have seen that ad, and note it. Means you have higher than usual turnover which usually means shit pay/high responsibilities or an abusive/toxic person that drives people away. Usually it’s a spicy combo of all of that.
However. Upon reading it again, this reads like a “I’ll give $20 to whoever gets me an application” by a desperate kitchen manager who got a promotion via someone quitting. And OP said fuck it I’ll try reddit
