Job description

Currently, John Knox Village features 7 individual dining outlets spread over 400 acres of residential property, each with a unique menu and style of service. These include Fireside (cafeteria), Lakeside Grille (quick service), Courtyard Café, Places Restaurant, Stories Public House, Metropolitan (full-service restaurants), and the Coffee Shoppe. Most outlets are at least partially scratch kitchens, with Courtyard Café, Places, Stories Pub, and Metropolitan being 70-99% scratch-made-to-order. Lakeside offers some cook-to-order and batch cooking, while Fireside is primarily batch cooking. All kitchens utilize prep and line cooks under the leadership of a chef.
