What are the responsibilities and job description for the Banquet Cook | HOTEL DU PONT position at PM New Logo?
What You’ll Do:
Our Banquet Cook is responsible for the flawless preparation and presentation of the menu created by the Executive Chef and for making sure our guests receive an unparalleled dining experience. No pressure.
Here are just some of the tasks you’ll be responsible for on a daily basis:
- Prepare food consistent with recipe cards.
- Start food items that are prepared ahead of time, making sure not to over-prepare estimated needs.
- Return all food items not used on next shift to designated storage areas.
- Operate and properly clean cooking and kitchen equipment and supplies.
Where You’ve Been:
You have a high school diploma or equivalent and at least 1 year’s experience as a prep line/cook. Most importantly, you’re someone who is capable of thinking on their feet and able to keep up in high-pressure situations. If that sounds like you, go ahead and apply.
When You’re Here:
This probably goes without saying but you’ll be on your feet a lot. There will be occasions when you may be carrying/lifting up to 50 pounds, walking, bending/twisting, climbing stairs and working on slippery floors. You also must be able to accommodate varying schedules including nights, weekends and holidays. But wait, there’s a great upside: in exchange for your flexibility, we offer excellent pay, hotel discounts, F&B discounts and the opportunity to be part of an anything-but-standard growing hotel company.
