• Work collaboratively with your kitchen team — supporting each other through the rush and holding each other to a high standard.
• Provide coverage in other resort outlets (casual dining, banquets, elevated dining) as business levels and scheduling require; flexibility across concepts is part of working in a multi-outlet resort kitchen.
• This is a resort hospitality role; availability on weekends, holidays, and extended hours during peak seasons is required.

What you bring

• Prior kitchen experience in a restaurant, resort, or food service environment; the right attitude and work ethic matter as much as the experience level.
• Comfort with the pace and rhythm of a busy kitchen; you stay focused, organized, and positive when it gets loud and fast.

• Ability to meet skill expectations based on your Cook level (I, II, or III) and a genuine desire to grow toward the next level.
• Physical stamina to stand and walk for extended periods, reach, bend, and occasionally lift up to 50 lbs.
• Basic reading and writing ability; you can follow recipes, understand safety labels, and complete brief reports as needed.
• High school diploma or GED preferred; one year of equivalent kitchen experience accepted in lieu.
• A valid driver's license may be required for certain assignments involving company vehicles.
