Weekend availability and schedule flexibility are essential to this position. Because of the nature of private aviation, there may be weeks with fewer hours and others with significantly more opportunity, particularly during busy travel periods, major events and holidays. This role can be an especially good fit for someone who already has another flexible source of income or flexible weekday schedule and wants to remain active in the culinary/hospitality industry without committing to a traditional restaurant schedule. Some of our private aviation clients are contracted accounts, while other private orders may provide opportunities for gratuities. Why La Bonne Vie? We're not a traditional restaurant kitchen. La Bonne Vie is a growing personal chef and catering company serving weekly meal service clients, private events, cooking classes and private aviation. Our team works in a professional kitchen environment built around quality, hospitality, teamwork and mutual respect. We care deeply about company culture. We want people on our team who enjoy doing excellent work, respect the people working beside them and understand that hospitality doesn't end just because the client isn't standing in front of you. A guest boarding a private aircraft may never meet the person who prepared their meal—but their experience with La Bonne Vie starts with you anyway. If you're experienced, adaptable, detail-oriented and take genuine pride in creating an exceptional experience, we'd love to hear from you.
