Now Hiring: Executive Sous Chef

In this role, you would act as the right hand to the Resort Executive Chef while overseeing daily culinary operations across one or multiple outlets. You will manage a large team, ensuring efficient production schedules, maintaining inventory and quality controls, and collaborating closely with culinary and hospitality teams to deliver exceptional guest experience.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead and inspire kitchen teams to deliver high-quality food across multiple resort outlets, including restaurants, banquets, and special events.
  • Ensure consistency and presentation standards set by our Corporate Food & Beverage team.
  • Manage daily kitchen operations, including scheduling, inventory, food costs, and compliance with safety and sanitation regulations.
  • Support the Executive Chef in leadership, staff training, and problem-solving, stepping in to maintain smooth operations as needed.

What We’re Looking For:

  • We do require that you have a background, with experience consisting of five years of progressive culinary, five years of management, banquets, and have been part of a hotel or resort with over 500 rooms in size.
  • Basic knowledge of P&L, food cost/inventory management, recipe costing, kitchen sanitation, and food safety regulations.
  • A culinary arts degree is preferred.
  • Prior experience with Bake shop/pastry production is helpful.
  • Bilingual English and Spanish. It is helpful but not required.

Why Kalahari?

  • Career growth with promotion from within
  • Comprehensive benefits (401k, health, vision, dental)
  • Discounts, perks, and education assistance

Be part of something extraordinary. Apply today and help us Lead with Love.
