Lyric at RidgeGate is an innovative and eclectic community developed by Shea Homes, nestled in the South Metro Denver area of Colorado. This vibrant neighborhood offers residents a unique lifestyle surrounded by nature with a variety of amenities designed to enhance community living and wellbeing. Among these amenities are a state-of-the-art fitness center, a welcoming coffee house, and a signature restaurant, all designed to foster social interaction and a sense of community. Residents can also enjoy well-maintained facilities for swimming, lounging, and other social activities, making Lyric at RidgeGate not just a place to live but a lifestyle to embrace.
Within this dynamic community, the Chef de Cuisine position plays a critical role as part of the Kitchen Management Team. Reporting directly to the Executive Chef, the Chef de Cuisine is responsible for overseeing the daily kitchen operations to ensure high standards of food quality, safety, and team performance are met consistently. This full-time role offers an annual salary range of $60,000 to $65,000 and includes a comprehensive benefits package for eligible employees.
As the Chef de Cuisine, you will be entrusted with managing the kitchen staff, planning menus, and procuring fresh ingredients to create dishes that exceed guests' expectations. You will be pivotal in controlling food costs while maintaining the balance between quality and value. The role demands a strong commitment to food safety and sanitation, along with maintaining up-to-date recipes and cost sheets for menu items and banquets. Developing positive customer relations and fostering a collaborative and productive work environment are essential responsibilities. You will lead by example, encourage open communication, and set achievable goals for your team, driving both personal and professional growth.
Key duties include supervising hiring, training, and mentoring kitchen staff, including apprentice chefs, while conducting performance reviews to maintain high standards. Ensuring a clean, safe, and enjoyable working environment aligns with the company’s dedication to excellent service and guest satisfaction. The role also involves budget management on daily, monthly, and annual levels in collaboration with the Executive Chef.
Moreover, you will represent the community and its values with professionalism, not only in your conduct but also in your appearance and communication. Participating in food and beverage functions such as corporate events and weddings, staying abreast of industry trends, attending culinary exhibitions, and engaging in continuous improvement initiatives are vital for maintaining the resort’s standard of excellence.
The position requires flexibility in scheduling, often including evenings and weekends, reflective of the hospitality industry's dynamic nature. Your ability to remain composed under pressure while managing multiple priorities will be crucial to success in this role. The work environment is predominantly indoors in a kitchen equipped with modern tools and appliances, but you may occasionally work outdoors during events, which requires adaptability to various weather conditions and event settings.

Join this passionate and innovative team and make a tangible impact in a lively and evolving community.
