Pastry Lead Line Cook - Dean's Steakhouse
Summary:
Who We Are
White Lodging is hiring a Pastry Lead Line Cook to join our culinary team! This is a kitchen leadership role designed for an experienced line cook who is ready to take the next step toward becoming a Sous Chef. You'll step into a Sous Chef in training capacity, leading daily back-of-house (BOH) operations, mentoring junior kitchen staff, and keeping production running smoothly across a fast-paced hotel kitchen environment.
If you're a senior line cook or lead cook looking for a clear path to culinary management, this role offers the hands-on leadership experience you need - backed by one of the country's top hospitality companies operating premium hotels, restaurants, and rooftop bars across the U.S.
Responsibilities:
What You'll Do
  • Serve as a Sous Chef in training - stepping into full kitchen management responsibilities and overseeing all BOH operations in the Sous Chef's absence
  • Mentor and collaborate with Entry Level Cooks, Line Cooks, culinary apprentices, and stewards while managing daily food preparation and production in the food outlet
  • Follow company F&B procedures, health department regulations, and federal food safety guidelines
  • Assist in maintaining food cost and labor cost standards to meet financial targets
  • Check ingredient freshness; enforce all recipe standards and portion-use records across the team
  • Monitor guest feedback scores and proactively influence food quality and service consistency
  • Foster a culture of cooperation, respect, and professional kitchen standards among all coworkers
  • Perform other duties as assigned

What You'll Bring
  • Solid working knowledge of all commercial kitchen equipment and culinary preparation techniques
  • Demonstrated proficiency in sautéing, broiling, frying, roasting, butchery, garde manger, pantry, and breakfast cookery
  • Experience leading or mentoring kitchen staff - prior lead cook or senior cook experience strongly preferred
  • Culinary degree, culinary school training, or apprenticeship preferred - not required
  • Ability to stand and move at a fast pace for extended periods in a high-volume kitchen

Other information:
What You Can Look Forward To
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance (starting Day 1)
  • Life Insurance and Disability Insurance
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • DailyPay option
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Vacation/Paid Time Off (PTO) with rollover
  • Complimentary wellness tools
  • Unlimited referral bonuses
  • Leadership development and tuition reimbursement
  • Discounts on hotel rooms, dining, and other travel/entertainment experiences
  • Multiple hotels in each market = more opportunities for growth
