Assist with menu development, seasonal changes, and catering or cultural events
Manage prep, inventory, and ordering to align with operational and financial goals
Lead by example on the line during service, ensuring quality, timing, and presentation
Uphold the highest standards of sanitation, safety, and ServSafe compliance

What we’re looking for:

Background in fine dining or luxury hospitality strongly preferred
Strong technical skills with French cuisine and global techniques
Ability to work in a high-volume, multi-outlet operation without sacrificing quality
