Assistant Banquet Cook

Distinctive Hospitality Group

Join Our Culinary Team as an Assistant Banquet Chef

Do you thrive in a high-energy kitchen where every event is an opportunity to create something unforgettable? We're looking for a talented, motivated Assistant Banquet Chef to help lead banquet operations at one of the shoreline's premier luxury resorts.

From elegant weddings overlooking the water to corporate galas, holiday celebrations, and exclusive private events, you'll play a key role in delivering exceptional dining experiences for hundreds of guests while maintaining the highest standards of quality, creativity, and hospitality.

What You'll Do

  • Partner with the Executive Banquet Chef to execute flawless events ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale functions.
  • Lead and inspire banquet cooks and culinary team members, creating a positive, professional, and team-oriented kitchen culture.
  • Ensure every plate leaving the kitchen reflects the quality and presentation expected of a luxury resort.
  • Assist with menu preparation, production planning, scheduling, and event execution.
  • Maintain exceptional food safety, sanitation, and organization standards.
  • Manage inventory, minimize waste, and help control food costs.
  • Collaborate with the banquet, restaurant, and events teams to create memorable guest experiences.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous experience as a Sous Chef, Assistant Banquet Chef, or strong line chef ready to advance.
  • Experience producing high-volume banquet or catering events.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and develop a team.
  • Calm under pressure with outstanding organizational and time-management abilities.
  • Passion for culinary excellence and attention to detail.
  • Flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
  • Culinary degree is a plus, but proven experience and talent are equally valued.

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Competitive salary with opportunities for growth.
  • Work in a beautiful waterfront luxury resort setting.
  • Be part of a talented culinary team that values creativity, teamwork, and excellence.
  • Opportunity to showcase your skills at weddings, signature events, and upscale private functions.
  • Employee dining discounts, resort perks, paid time off, and comprehensive benefits for full-time team members.

If you're passionate about exceptional food, love the excitement of banquet service, and want to build your culinary career in a dynamic luxury resort environment, we'd love to meet you.

Create memorable experiences. Lead with passion. Cook with purpose. Apply today!
