As a prominent player in the hospitality industry, Graton Resort & Casino continually upholds high standards of service quality, safety, and sanitation across all its departments. The resort features several dining venues and bars, each requiring meticulous attention to cleanliness and operational efficiency to maintain a welcoming and safe environment for guests and staff alike. The organization values integrity, innovation, and teamwork, fostering a culture where employees are empowered and supported to achieve excellence in hospitality services. The Assistant Executive Steward position at Graton Resort & Casino plays a vital role within this framework by ensuring the back-of-house cleanliness and sanitation standards are not only met but exceeded, contributing directly to guest satisfaction and operational success.
The Assistant Executive Steward is entrusted with the critical responsibility of overseeing the cleanliness and sanitation of kitchen areas and food preparation zones. This includes monitoring dish rooms, kitchen equipment, and service areas across various resort outlets such as the Marketplace Dish Room, Team Dining Room, 630 Park Steakhouse, Tony's of North Beach Italian Restaurant, and casino bars. The role entails supervising and training a sizable team of approximately 40 Team Members, including stewards and dishwashers, to uphold sanitation standards and ensure compliance with health regulations. This leadership component involves assigning daily tasks, managing schedules, and evaluating team performance to maintain an efficient and hazard-free working environment. A key focus of the Assistant Executive Steward is inventory management—tracking supplies such as cleaning chemicals, utensils, and banquet equipment—and collaborating with maintenance to address any issues promptly. The role further supports banquet functions by assisting in set-up and breakdown activities, ensuring all service ware and equipment are ready and available. In addition to operational duties, the Assistant Executive Steward is expected to contribute to fostering a safe workplace by conducting training programs on safety, sanitation, and proper food handling.
This position requires a proactive approach to enforce compliance with department standards set by health authorities, OSHA, and the Graton Gaming Commission, safeguarding both staff well-being and guest experiences. Working collaboratively with management, the Assistant Executive Steward also facilitates communication through daily huddles and maintains information boards to keep the team informed and aligned with resort goals. This role demands strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to lead a diverse team effectively while managing multiple areas of responsibility. Employment at Graton Resort & Casino offers an engaging and dynamic work environment within a top-tier hospitality setting, ideal for individuals passionate about maintaining high standards of culinary sanitation and operational excellence. Salary details and employment type specifics are typically discussed during the recruitment process, emphasizing the opportunity for career growth and development within the organization.
