Job description

Job Description

Hillstoneโ€™s summer internshipย is designed for rising seniors with a serious interest in pursuing a career in restaurant management or culinary management.ย Interns are exposed to the business in its entirety; however, a specific focus is placed on daily operations and service. While the majority of time is spent apprenticing staff-level roles, there is also an opportunity to understand management level functions which can include hiring, training, coaching, inventory management and P&L oversight. Previous experience working in restaurants is helpful, but not a prerequisite.

Intern placements will be determined by fit and assigned to an operating team in one of the restaurants around the country, with a strong focus on East Hampton, NY and Aspen,ย CO. Compensation will vary based on location but will average at least $1000 per week.ย 

Hillstone Restaurant Group is a privately-held collection of upscale restaurants with 45+ locations in vibrant cities across the country. Some of our more well-known operations areย Houstonโ€™s, Hillstone, R+D Kitchen, Bandera, East Hampton Grill, South Beverly Grill, Honor Bar, Palm Beach Grill, and White House Tavern.ย ย To learn more, visit us atย www.hillstone.com, or read this profile in Bon Appetit magazine:ย http://www.hillstone.com/press/bonappetit

Qualifications

Placement for the internship is decided upon hire, based on fit to the operating team. This might not be in Aspen, CO, as we have 38 properties around the United States, making relocation contingent upon employment.ย
