• Maintain exceptional standards for food quality, presentation, and kitchen cleanliness
• Manage pantry inventory, restock supplies, and perform general kitchen upkeep (including dishwashing when needed)
• Foster a warm, welcoming kitchen environment aligned with the company’s culture
• Explore and implement new ideas to enhance the dining experience
• Ensure full compliance with food safety and health regulations
