The Chef D'Cuisine role at Live! Casino & Hotel is a key leadership position within its highly acclaimed 4-star dining establishments. This is a full-time role offering compensation between $73,003 and $100,694 annually. The ideal candidate will bring at least three years of executive chef experience in a similarly high-volume, upscale restaurant setting where managing pace, quality, and service are crucial. The selected Chef D'Cuisine will be responsible for overseeing the entire kitchen operation to ensure culinary operations not only meet but exceed guest expectations.

Excellent communication skills are required to interact effectively with hotel management and guests, ensuring alignment across all hospitality services.
Working conditions include exposure to a busy casino environment with alcohol, cigarette, and cigar smoke, bright lights, and loud noises.
