Our culinary team brings that same energy to every plate, banquet, buffet, and guest experience.

This is a morning-shift opportunity for a talented, dependable pastry professional who loves the craft, from perfectly prepared doughs and mousses to polished cakes, chocolate décor, and show-stopping desserts.

• Communicate product needs promptly with the Executive Chef, Chef de Cuisine, Banquet Chef, and other Culinary Leaders.
• Support the culinary team with additional duties as assigned.
