A guest can walk into The French Laundry or one of the Bouchon Bakeries and have the most enjoyable, unique and memorable experience. A chef will find the same blue aprons and green tape in each of our kitchens—symbols of a common striving for excellence. Outside the kitchens, every action we take must reflect the generosity, nurturing and finesse within. As members of the TKRG family, we have the responsibility to ensure this consistency. Beyond it all is a mission, perhaps summed up best by Chef Keller himself. "To make people happy, one guest at a time," he says. "That is what cooking is all about."Compensation: Salary ($110,000.00 - $130,000.00)Benefits & Perks: Health Insurance, Dental Insurance, Vision Insurance, Life Insurance, Paid Time Off, 401k, Potential Bonuses, Dining Discounts, Wellness ProgramRequired Skills: Conflict Resolution, Leadership, Customer Service, Mentorship, High Volume Service, Coaching, Food Safety Knowledge, POS Systems
