  • Train, direct, and support kitchen associates to maintain high standards of performance and food quality.
  • Follow all food safety, sanitation, loss prevention, infection control, and workplace safety procedures.
  • Maintain compliance with state and local health department regulations.
  • Conduct and organize monthly food inventories and maintain accurate inventory records.
  • Receive, inspect, properly log, stock, and rotate deliveries from vendors.
  • Review and cost-code invoices and maintain accurate expense tracking for the Food & Beverage Department.
  • Monitor food costs and help identify opportunities to improve efficiency and profitability.
  • Partner with Catering Sales to develop pricing for potential catering and banquet business.
  • Collaborate with banquet captains, department heads, and other hotel leaders to ensure successful events and guest experiences.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, professional, and safe kitchen environment.
  • Communicate effectively with guests, clients, associates, supervisors, and other hotel leadership.

What We're Looking For
  • High school diploma or equivalent required.
  • 5 years of high-volume line cooking and food preparation experience.
  • Previous experience as an Executive Chef, Sous Chef, Chef de Cuisine, or in a similar culinary leadership role preferred.
  • ServSafe certification required.
  • Strong knowledge of food preparation, kitchen operations, sanitation, food safety, and high-volume production.
  • Strong leadership and delegation skills with the ability to manage an entire kitchen team.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with guests, clients, supervisors, and coworkers.
  • Strong customer service mindset and commitment to hospitality.

  • Proficiency in basic mathematics, including percentages, ratios, dry and liquid measurements, scaling, and metric conversions.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced hotel and banquet environment.
  • Availability to work weekends and holidays as needed.

You Know You're Successful When...
You know you're successful when the kitchen operates with consistency, organization, and teamwork; food is produced on time and to high quality standards; BEOs and banquet events are executed accurately; food safety and sanitation standards are consistently maintained; inventory and food costs are well controlled; kitchen associates understand their responsibilities and perform effectively; and guests, clients, and hotel leadership consistently have confidence in the quality and professionalism of the culinary operation.
Physical Requirements
  • Frequent walking and standing throughout the workday.
  • Ability to frequently bend, stoop, sit, stand, reach, and move throughout the kitchen.
  • Ability to work for extended periods in a busy, fast-paced kitchen environment.
  • Ability to occasionally lift and carry items weighing up to 50 pounds using proper body mechanics and lifting techniques.

Why Join Us?
We believe great hospitality starts with great people.
