  • Monitor inventory levels and assist in ordering and receiving food and supplies to maintain appropriate stock levels
  • Collaborate with the executive chef in cost control and budget management, making recommendations for improvement

With a strong sense of ownership and pride in your craft, you'll work hand in hand with the Head Chef to deliver an exceptional dining experience that leaves our guests wanting more.
