Banquet Cook - Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants • Philadelphia, PA • 6d ago

Why We're Here

We believe heartfelt, human connections make people's lives better. Especially the people who work here.

Our founder, Bill Kimpton rebelled against impersonal, generic hospitality that makes people feel disconnected. He initiated a new boutique hotel standard and environment where people could connect, from the heart. That was the goal then, and it is still our purpose today.

Your work here has meaning. You're here to improve the lives of coworkers, guests, owners, communities, and together we make that happen. It's what drives all that we do. Every day you can improve lives in your own, unique way and you can expect the same in return. It all starts with you.

How We're Different

Our San Francisco-born entrepreneurial spirit and zest for life kick started this culture in 1981, and it shines through to this day.

It all flows from you. The lively, rebellious, genuine you - with your diverse background, talents, experiences, and plucky personality - is fully welcome, and celebrated here. Because we know that when people can be themselves at work, they shine.

That's what we seek out and celebrate. It's people of all kinds who share a knack for creativity and self-leadership. People who don't need to be told what to do to get things done. People who have an innate passion for making others' lives better.

It adds up to a work environment that's a bit quirky, irreverent, exciting, uncommon, empowering, and downright exceptional. Guests feel it; you'll feel it too.

What You'll Do

Responsibilities include providing ridiculously personal experiences and leading all aspects of the food production for banquets, including food preparation according to the specific descriptions and following all sanitation practices. You'll also have an immense passion for cooking and food!

Some of your responsibilities include:

Prepare high quality food items for customers in a timely and consistent manner.

Accurately set up food stations for events as designed and requested.

Practice sanitation and safety through daily cleaning, labeling, and accurate storage of all items.

Follow all quality standards and attendance policies.

Work varying schedules to reflect business needs including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Cooperatively and collaboratively work with other departments as needed.

What You Bring

Differences make a difference. We are committed to creating a culture that reflects the diversity of our hotel and restaurant guests. With that goal in mind, we encourage each of our employees to understand, accept, and celebrate differences among people. That includes different personalities, lifestyles, work styles, education, and experience.
