Imagine Crafting Culinary Masterpieces in the Heart of Saint Augustine

Welcome to the banquet kitchen of Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Augustine, where you will be spinning an enticing tapestry of flavours and aromas. We're looking for an enthusiastic, spirited individual ready to learn, grow, and bring our gastronomic creations to life.

The Kitchen Stage Awaits

As the Banquet Cook, you'll play a vital role in our culinary performance. With your trusty kitchen tools, you'll transform ingredients into delectable dishes, carefully following our culinary script. You'll ensure our backstage - the kitchen, is a safe and welcoming space, performing routine cleaning and maintenance. You will uphold the highest standards of food safety, maintaining a clean and sanitary work environment while managing food storage and rotation. And of course, you'll keep a keen eye on our prep needs, ensuring our pantry is always ready for the next act.

Your Backstage Pass

You're a team player with an appetite for learning and a flair for the culinary arts. Basic reading, writing and math skills are your foundation, but kitchen experience will be your spotlight. Your schedule may include nights, weekends, and/or holidays, but that's show business. The ability to lift and/or move up to 50 pounds, move about the work area, handle kitchen equipment, and work in high-temperature areas will be your daily routine. You're not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.

Rehearsal and Curtain Call

You're equipped with a high school diploma or a general education degree (GED), or you're armed with an equivalent combination of education and experience. One to three months of related experience and/or training is the encore we're looking for.

Take A Bow

As an esteemed player in our kitchen, you're not just part of the Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Augustine troupe; you're part of the larger HVMG family. We celebrate your performance with amazing opportunities for career advancement, flexible full-time and part-time schedules, and up to 40% earned wages paid before payday with PayActive. We also offer Paid Time Off (PTO), Paid Holidays, Full Healthcare Benefits (including medical, dental, and vision coverage), a 401k Retirement Plan with a guaranteed 4% match and no vesting. Not to mention, Hotel and Food and Beverage Discounts and Perks. Take a bow, you've earned it.

Casting Without Bias

We're committed to providing equal opportunities regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, marital status, or disability. We believe in celebrating diversity and welcoming all on our stage.
