AM Breakfast & Kitchen Lead (Full-Time or Part-Time) Runway Grill at DoubleTree by Hilton Sarasota Bradenton Airport About Us The Runway Grill, located inside the market-leading DoubleTree by Hilton Sarasota Bradenton Airport—featuring our iconic six-story atrium—is led by a seasoned Executive Chef looking for a skilled, high-caliber AM Kitchen Lead. Why This Role This is an opportunity for an experienced cook who wants more ownership than a typical breakfast position. You will own the morning line while partnering directly with the Executive Chef on scratch production, daily specials, banquets, and overall kitchen operations. Early morning availability and a higher-level culinary background are required. Key Responsibilities
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.
