It's a fun, social role for someone who enjoys people and thrives on staying organized behind the scenes. How it

Works The Role:

You partner with a Culinary Class Instructor during each class, handling guest needs and logistics so the chef can focus on the food and teaching.

The Guests:

You're the first friendly face guests see. You help them get settled, answer questions, and keep the energy positive throughout the class.

The Logistics:

You assist with things like plating, serving, drink service, and keeping the space running smoothly during class.

The Cleanup:

Focus on the guests and the flow of the class. We have a cleaning crew that comes in afterward to handle the deep cleaning.

Schedule & Flexibility Advance Planning:

We respect your time. Schedules are finalized about one month in advance.

Work-Life Balance:

This is a flexible role with typically 1 to 4 classes per month depending on the season and your interest.

You stay calm and helpful even when a class gets busy or something unexpected comes up.

Team Player:

You work well alongside chefs and can read what a class needs in the moment. Culinary Knowledge (a plus, not required): Any familiarity with cooking or kitchen terms is helpful but not necessary. We'll teach you what you need to know to support the class.

Why Hosts Love Working With Us Social Environment:

Every class is a new group of people to meet and a new menu to experience.

No Cooking Required:

You don't need professional kitchen experience, just a knack for hospitality.
