<p>We believe that hospitality is a transformative art - that this "place" can do more than inspire and nurture its guests, team, and partners. It can inspire an entire city, country, and world. By captivating the hearts and imaginations of a new generation with renewed passion, purpose, and intention, we're building a hospitality company and place that celebrates humanity. Where we can be a source of hope, care, and delight. Where people are inspired to be the best version of themselves - kinder, more open, and more gracious. And, that we have the power to carry that spirit with us into our hearts, lives, communities, and everywhere we go.</p> <p>Job Description</p> <p>While no job description can possibly provide a comprehensive list of job duties, the following is a summary of the major responsibilities for the position.</p> <p>Responsibilities</p> <ul> <li>Maintains a file of recipes, including ingredients, portions, and directions for preparation and presentation of each dish. </li><li>Set Standards and methods for portion control for each dish on the menu, with the perceived value factor in mind. </li><li>Accountable for meeting budgets for food, labor, and direct operating expenses as they pertain to the culinary department. </li><li>Costing all food items and assisting the Food and Beverage Director with monthly reports. </li><li>Creates kitchen labor schedules that meet the Peak Performance criteria. </li><li>Assists with the creation of seasonal, monthly, and weekly specials and menus. </li><li>Monitor execution procedures to ensure quality, consistency, efficiency, productivity, and professionalism are at the highest level. </li><li>Conduct hands-on teaching and training in the kitchen, working closely with Sous Chefs and cooks, as well as other staff as applicable who work in BOH, and help with food preparation and execution. </li><li>Train and educate staff on new menu items and changes in procedures for current menu items; monitor and hold staff accountable for implementing the changes. </li><li>Hire, coach, counsel, and conduct performance evaluations for Sous Chefs, Supervisors, cooks, and stewards. </li><li>Develop, train, and mentor Sous Chef, Supervisors, and cooks, act as a resource to them as well as other back-of-house (BOH) personnel. </li><li>Develop, implement, and maintain sanitation practices and protocols. </li><li>Work with management on ongoing and monthly/seasonal menu development, staff training, and photo shoots. </li><li>Create and monitor kitchen inventory to include order inspections and item selection. </li></ul> <p>Qualifications</p> <ul> <li>Strategic business leader - Works strategically to devise plans in alignment with organizational goals. </li><li>Cultivates engagement - Builds loyalty to the company and not to themselves.
