Morning Operations:

Set up and maintain the breakfast buffet, handle a la carte breakfast orders, flip the line, and run lunch service. ​

Production & Banquets:

Work directly alongside the Executive Chef on batch production, scratch recipes, signature menu items, and catering/banquet execution. ​

Station Ownership:

Execute daily prep, maintain strict food safety/rotation, and set up the kitchen for the PM shift. ​ Requirements & Physical Demands ​Advanced culinary background with strong knife skills, scratch-cooking technique, and banquet experience (not an entry-level role). ​Self-directed work ethic; punctual and reliable for early morning starts (including weekends/holidays). ​Must be able to stand/walk for 8+ hours in a hot kitchen, safely lift/carry up to 50 lbs, and execute frequent bending, reaching, and stooping. ​ Perks ​Global Hilton Team Member travel discounts. ​Consistent, high-responsibility morning schedule. ​
