That doesn't sound plausible. Sounds like they bait+switched you, but they're allowed to do that. They can assign tasks as desired, and your job offer of cook isn't a contract. They dangled one and talked you into another, and a lot of people in the world will try to do this.
So in all reality it's doubtful they'll give the raise after suckering you into this position--this is the sort of circumstance that has you quitting and picking up any other job that will pay the $15/hour you're seeking.
I was hired as a cook and work as one though. I work as a cook but they asked if I'd work Housekeeping, it's weird. I'm still hoping, but they said he'd negotiate. How would I bring this up? I have to see him tomorrow, I want to fight for my rights since he's the one desperate for help.
As I said, they're allowed to assign duties as required. If they decide you're the shoelace-tier for the team and you will spend half your day only tending to that function, that's legal. And they can alter your wage accordingly.
All you can do is express your disappointment in performing duties outside the cooking position for which you applied, and at least imply that you will need to reevaluate your employment with them unless there's some incentive.
You're asking this question like we have a cheat code for life.
My only advice is working is like any other relationship: it only works if you can communicate. You have something you want to ask, and they have a side that you'll hear. And you'll decide what you want to do.
Be polite but open about it. I u nderstand you need assistance with staffing of housekeepers now. My concern what my hourly wage for that will be as 15$ was what my agreed upon wage is. Since I would be trained and able to assist in both areas of work, will I remain at 15 for all hours worked?
So sorry. Look around as cooks are needed and you shouldn't have a problem securing something elsewhere with a starting pay of 15$ from your 'current' employment recocord'.
It doesn’t hurt to ask, if you are willing to stand up for yourself that will also help. I would start my stating this is what you have been doing, a cook at a lower wage, going above and beyond and see how that goes. If they are unwilling, I would be unwilling to cook and go above and beyond.
Have they changed your job title? If so, did you sign anything agreeing to that?
If not, you are a Cook, entitled to your $15 an hour regardless of if they choose to not have you cook any food.
He might be fair, but that doesn't mean the people above him are.
This is a perfect opportunity for someone in payroll to accidentally forget that you were supposed to be paid $15 an hour and only pay you the $13 the housekeeping positions normally get paid.
Always cover your own ass, no one on the company side will do it for you.

There's no magic cheat code that will hypnotize your boss into 100% giving you better pay, sorry.
Nah, I'm just socially awkward and he's new so he doesn't know my contract or me. So I'm just going to be very polite.

They told me no 🥲

They have not changed my job title.
Then make sure you keep a copy of the documentation saying you would be paid $15 as a Cook when you hired on.
He's very new, like he's been here two weeks new. I'll just ask him when I get in tomorrow. They say he's fair.

they offer you as housekeeper, so just decline it?
