Chef de Cuisine

Castle Oaks Golf Course is looking for a talented and creative Chef de Cuisine to join our culinary team. We offer exceptional pay, a beautiful work environment, and numerous opportunities for growth and development.

Compensation: $28 - $30 per hour BOE

This is a hands-on position, must be able to do inventory, and cost control. Like a captain of a ship, a chef represents the highest level of the kitchen hierarchy. Our Chef is expected to not only understand complex flavor dynamics and how to create the best menu items but also manage the business side of the kitchen. A chef fills both the supervisor and manager roles within the business, yet still works intimately with his or her team to ensure that things run smoothly.

Our Head chef is the individual running the kitchen on the day-to-day – assuming manager duties, supervising staff, making purchases, and working with the Food and Beverage Manager to create new menus and recipes. This position is a 40 hour work week with rotating weekends off, which is unheard of in the F&B industry
