Restaurant Management Internship

Hillstone’s summer 2026 internshipis designed for rising seniors with a serious interest in pursuing a career in restaurant management or culinary management. Interns are exposed to the business in its entirety; however, a specific focus is placed on daily operations and service. While the majority of time is spent apprenticing staff-level roles, there is also an opportunity to understand management level functions which can include hiring, training, coaching, inventory management and P&L oversight. Previous experience working in restaurants is helpful, but not a prerequisite. Intern placements will be determined by fit and assigned to an operating team in one of the restaurants around the country, with a strong focus on East Hampton, NY and Aspen, CO. Compensation will vary based on location but will average between $1000-$2000 per week. Hillstone Restaurant Group is a privately-held collection of upscale restaurants with 45+ locations in vibrant cities across the country. Some of our more well-known operations are Houston’s, Hillstone, R+D Kitchen, Bandera, East Hampton Grill, South Beverly Grill, Honor Bar, Palm Beach Grill, and White House Tavern.
