Job description

Help Deliver the Kalahari Experience
At Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, we don't just create vacations-we craft unforgettable experiences. Home to America's Largest Indoor Waterparks, our African-inspired resorts offer world-class dining, luxurious spas, thrilling entertainment, and cutting-edge convention centers that redefine hospitality.
But we're more than a resort. As a family-owned company, our Promise is simple: Lead with Love. This means caring deeply for our guests, associates, and communities-treating people like family, giving back generously, and creating spaces where everyone feels valued.
Through our partnership with charity: water, we're also committed to bringing clean water to one million people in Africa.
Culinary Internship Program
Kalahari Resorts & Conventions is seeking Culinary Interns. This track offers on-the-job training, mentoring relationships with regular coaching, and an opportunity to connect and build life-long relationships with culinary leaders and peers. There are a select number of spots available in this program. This internship is front-line work, mixed with learning various supervisory roles. This experience does rotate between different areas/kitchens, but you may be asked to help in other areas as business volumes vary. If you're interested in learning systems, working in multiple concepts, scratch cooking and finding out how Kalahari feeds the masses - down to an intimate dinner - this is for you! Previous cooking experience is necessary.
Culinary Art Focus
All Kalahari properties have multiple concepts, from coffee and scratch-pastry shops, sit-down restaurants, a beverage operation, to a full-service convention center. As a Culinary Intern you will gain the unforgettable experience of being part of our back-of-the-house teams in either: Double Cut Steak House, Sortino's, Cinco Nino's, B-Lux Bar & Grill, Cinco Nino's, waterpark eateries, banquets, baking/pastry, and the production kitchen.
Baking & Pastry Arts Focus
All Kalahari properties have a from-scratch production bake shop. Baking and Pastry Arts Program will rotate through a variety of roles, including bulk recipe batching, bread production, pastry/cakes, displays/plating.
What We're Looking For
One or more of these criteria must apply to be eligible:
  • A student enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in a Culinary or Pastry Arts Program. (Kalahari is a Certified Externship Site for CIA externs).
  • A student enrolled in a culinary or pastry arts program at a community college or university.
  • No formal schooling but has at least one year of experience in a commercial kitchen or restaurant. Someone seeking hands-on work experience and gaining invaluable industry knowledge.

Kalahari's Culinary Intern program is typically a minimum of 12 weeks but can be customized according to curriculum requirements.
We view this experience as a chance for you to showcase your talents and to make a positive difference. Successful interns will be strongly considered to remain with the company after graduation.
We accept applications year-round for our Culinary Internship Program.
A Sampling of Our Benefits
Our team enjoys a comprehensive benefits package, including:
  • Career growth opportunities with promotion from within
  • 401(k) matching, paid time off, and holiday compensation
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage for full-time associates
  • Employee appreciation events, discounts, and perks at all resorts
  • Education assistance programs to help advance your career

Be Part of Something Extraordinary
At Kalahari, we believe the best leaders Lead with Love-because love builds trust, inspires growth, and creates experiences that last a lifetime. That's why we're proud to be recognized by Forbes as one of America's Best Midsize Employers, America's Best Employers for Women, and by USA TODAY as the #1 Best Indoor Water Park.
Here, careers thrive, innovation is encouraged, and every day brings new opportunities to create meaningful moments. Whether you're delivering guest service, crafting memorable meals, or leading a team, your work makes a real impact.
