• Lead and supervise stewarding and kitchen support operations, ensuring cleanliness, organization, and compliance with food safety standards.
• This department is also responsible for preparing items for banquets/events and delivering those items to the appropriate location throughout the hotel.
• Coordinate and maintain proper storage, handling, and distribution of culinary and banquet equipment throughout the resort.
• Monitor sanitation, safety, and cleanliness throughout kitchens, stewarding areas, storage locations, and event spaces.
• Assist with scheduling, training, coaching, and development of stewarding and kitchen support colleagues.

• Previous experience as a Kitchen Supervisor, Lead Cook, Stewarding Supervisor, or similar leadership role.
• Strong understanding of kitchen operations, banquet support, and inventory management.
• Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.
• Working knowledge of food safety, sanitation, and workplace safety standards.
• Ability to prioritize multiple tasks while maintaining operational excellence.
• Excellent communication and team collaboration skills.
• Flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as business demands require.
