Banquet Cook

Who you are: You are a proactive, assertive, take-charge person who loves to think ahead. You thrive in a fast-paced environment that revolves around serving people. You can work with leadership to accomplish tasks and you can work independently to execute events off-site.

The Opportunity: We need to fill several seasonal cook roles! The Banquet Cook is responsible for quality, timely food preparation, food safety adherence and clean-up for all banquet events. All kitchen employees may be asked to work outside their area from time to time. Cooks report directly to the head chef.

Who We Are: We craft memorable experiences through food and beverage. We are a small, tight team that believes in service above all else and inspiring others to be the best they can be. We don’t half-ass anything and build teams around critical thinkers. Results matter to us. We have fun and treat people as humans first and foremost.
