Hey there, Chef! So, picture this: you're at the helm of the kitchen at Parkdean Resorts, making sure everything runs like a well-oiled machine. Your main gig? Knocking the socks off our guests with top-notch grub that goes above and beyond. That means not only leading your kitchen crew like a champ but also keeping tabs on all the nitty-gritty stuff like food logs, safety checks, keeping the pantry stocked, and getting the team up to speed.
But hey, it's not all serious business! You're also the eyes and ears for anything wonky in our systems or services, and safety? That's non-negotiable. We're all about looking out for each other, whether it's our team, guests, or anyone else swinging by.
Now, let's talk vibes. We're all about building a team that feels more like family. That means you're not just the boss but also the captain, coach, and mentor all rolled into one. And when the heat's on (literally and figuratively), you thrive, whipping up culinary delights like it's nobody's business. Because at the end of the day, it's all about wowing our customers and making sure they leave with smiles plastered on their faces.
