Leadership & Team Development
Lead, train, and mentor banquet and catering culinary staff, fostering a culture of professionalism, accountability, and hospitality.
Partner with CDC and Sous Chefs on staffing, scheduling, and execution.
Participate in hiring, coaching, performance management, and disciplinary actions as needed.
Compliance & Safety
Ensure full compliance with HACCP, ServSafe, and local health regulations across all on-site and off-site operations.
