  • Ensure every plate leaving the kitchen reflects the quality and presentation expected of a luxury resort.

  • Assist with menu preparation, production planning, scheduling, and event execution.

  • Maintain exceptional food safety, sanitation, and organization standards.

  • Manage inventory, minimize waste, and help control food costs.

  • Collaborate with the banquet, restaurant, and events teams to create memorable guest experiences.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous experience as a Sous Chef, Assistant Banquet Chef, or strong line chef ready to advance.

  • Experience producing high-volume banquet or catering events.

  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and develop a team.

  • Calm under pressure with outstanding organizational and time-management abilities.

  • Passion for culinary excellence and attention to detail.

  • Flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

  • Culinary degree is a plus, but proven experience and talent are equally valued.

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Competitive salary with opportunities for growth.

  • Work in a beautiful waterfront luxury resort setting.

  • Be part of a talented culinary team that values creativity, teamwork, and excellence.

  • Opportunity to showcase your skills at weddings, signature events, and upscale private functions.

  • Employee dining discounts, resort perks, paid time off, and comprehensive benefits for full-time team members.

If you're passionate about exceptional food, love the excitement of banquet service, and want to build your culinary career in a dynamic luxury resort environment, we'd love to meet you.
