Schedule

- Cooking through the start of dinner service (5:30pm)

What We’re Looking For
- Catering experience required
- Leadership or kitchen management experience required
- Strong culinary background and ability to cook without standardized recipes
- Experience with menu planning and high-volume service
- Comfortable working in outdoor kitchen environments
- Ability to work independently while leading a team
- Valid Driver’s License
- Food Handler Certification
Why This Job Is Different
- $40/hour pay
- Work closely with touring musicians and production crews
