Additionally, the resort boasts a rejuvenating spa offering a range of relaxing treatments, along with elegant fine dining options that promise exceptional culinary experiences. This premier destination is not only a place to stay but a lifestyle destination where guests and residents enjoy an elevated standard of living amidst stunning natural surroundings and impeccable service.
The Flying Horse team is composed of dedicated professionals committed to delivering unparalleled service and crafting memorable experiences for every guest. The workplace culture is dynamic and vibrant, valuing diverse skills and experiences that enhance teamwork and innovation. At Flying Horse Resort and Club, hospitality is more than a service; it’s a passion that drives the team to exceed expectations consistently. The resort is actively growing its team, seeking individuals who have a strong commitment to excellence, a passion for hospitality, and a desire to contribute to an extraordinary guest experience.
The Sous Chef position plays an essential role within the culinary team, providing critical support to the Executive Chef and other Sous Chefs in managing a busy, high-volume kitchen environment. This role is primarily responsible for tasks on the Al a Carte line of the kitchen, ensuring that food quality is consistently high and that the kitchen operates smoothly under pressure. The ideal candidate must be an excellent team player, capable of quick decision-making, and adept at maintaining high standards of cleanliness, safety, and food handling according to health regulations.
Responsibilities extend beyond food preparation to include supervising and mentoring junior kitchen staff such as Chef de Partie and Commis chefs, coordinating daily kitchen tasks, estimating production needs, minimizing waste, maintaining communication between departments, and contributing to menu development while balancing food costs and quality. The Sous Chef will also be involved in quality control efforts, including spot checks for taste and menu accuracy, scheduling, and ensuring timely execution of kitchen operations. This role demands a professional who can handle multiple priorities effectively, deliver work by tight deadlines, and contribute positively to a friendly and warm work environment.
Applicants for the Sous Chef role should bring a minimum of three years of commercial kitchen experience, preferably within a high-volume, five-star restaurant or hotel setting. Attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously are fundamental. Exceptional customer service skills and strong communication abilities are required to interact tactfully and diplomatically with both team members and guests. The position allows for a hands-on approach with minimal supervision, requiring the ability to handle complex problems independently while fostering team development. This position offers an exciting opportunity for culinary professionals eager to advance their careers within a prestigious luxury resort setting.
