What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chef de Cuisine position at The Stirling Hotel?
The Stirling Hotel, despite its name, is not an actual hotel. It is a high volume restaurant that has been around for over 40 years serving comfort food, classic dishes, and seasonal chef-inspired creations. We also have a separate barbecue menu and concept in our backyard area that we call 'The Smokehouse'. We are looking for a new chef de cuisine to join our team.
The ideal candidate will:
- Hold the standard set by the chef and owners
- Be able to delegate to the prep cooks, line cooks, and dishwashers appropriately
- Have a passion towards food and cooking
- Have a desire to learn and teach others
- Work clean and organized
- Stay calm and relaxed under the daily pressures of the kitchen
- Leave their ego at the door and work as a team player
- Treat everyone with respect and kindness
Responsibilities will include, but are not limited too:
- Accurately placing orders when necessary
- Preparing items for the menu, specials, parties, and events
- Keeping a fresh rotation of specials that fit our style
- Ensure that all items are prepped in time for service
- Menu planning and food waste management
- Hiring, scheduling, and training kitchen staff members while maintaining a sustainable labor cost
- Being able to work all stations and jumping in when and where needed
- Maintaining the cleanliness of the kitchens and walk-in refrigerators
Previous kitchen management experience is required, preferably at a high volume and/or American comfort food restaurant. Speaking Spanish is a plus, but not required.
On top of the negotiated salary, there are also quarterly performance based bonuses.
Salary : $80,000 - $90,000
