Chef de Cuisine - Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants • Philadelphia, PA • 9h 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

You'll run both the commercial and private kitchens by leading all aspects of the daily operations and support the Executive Chef. In this position you'll use your managerial, communication, and leadership skills.

Some of your responsibilities include:

Build menus, design corresponding recipes, coordinate the preparation of those recipes.

Lead all kitchen employees.

Plan, assign, and direct work; appraise performance; reward and coach employees; address complaints and problem solve.

Participate in service education through line-ups, menu meetings, and new staff training programs.

Track the kitchen's inventory, place orders, monitor equipment maintenance and condition, and ensure that the kitchen operates alongside state and federal health and safety codes.

We all wear multiple hats here at Kimpton. You may have to take on responsibilities outside of this job post at times, as we all do.

What You Bring

2 years of previous experience in similar or supportive role in a high-volume, full-service restaurant.

2 or 4-year degree in Culinary Arts or Hospitality Management is preferred.

Food Handler Certification, Alcohol Awareness Certification (if applicable).

Able to coordinate and manage a team while handling multiple priorities under tight timelines in a rapidly changing environment.

With that goal in mind, we encourage each of our employees to understand, accept, and celebrate differences among people.
