Job description

Line cook 2 : Municipal Grand Hotel (opening May 2025)

Pay : Starting at $20

Sector : Luxury Independent Hotel

Property Description : 44 rooms, a restaurant, two bars, a pool, and delicious cocktails from the founders of Death & Co and The Ramble Hotel

Reports to : Executive Chef, Sous Chefs

Midnight Auteur was born from the successful partnership between The Ramble Hotel in Denver and Death & Co, which began almost six years ago when the storied bar opened its second location in the lobby of The Ramble Hotel. Our new hospitality company was created with a shared intention among founders to build and operate hotels that immerse guests fully and seamlessly between social spaces and retreats – offering a setting fit for both celebration and sanctuary. The cocktail anchored experience at The Ramble Hotel, one in which the lobby is interchangeable with the bar, resulted in numerous accolades and awards, including Esquire’s Best Bars in America in 2019, North America’s 50 Best Bars in 2022 and noted by Condé Nast Traveler as ‘the hotel for people who are sick of other hotels.’

As a company, we hold a deep and obsessive reverence for the all-day lobby bar, which is the foundation of Midnight Auteur. We love immersing our team and guests in a vibrant, celebratory experience that only a hotel lobby bar can appropriately capture. We're passionate about the community created and the hospitality shared over a coffee or cocktail while remaining equally committed to providing a luxury respite for our hotel guests.

Altogether, the Midnight Auteur team is passionate about actively evolving hotel, cocktail, and culinary culture, being a progressive and forward-thinking operator, and positively impacting its communities. We look forward to hearing from you!
