Job Description

Aramark is a global leader in food and facilities management, proudly serving millions of guests daily across 15 countries. Under the Workplace Experience Group umbrella, the Portfolio Group is one of Aramark's specialized teams dedicated to delivering seamless and innovative experiences tailored to each unique business portfolio. This group provides an integrated suite of services that range from managing breakroom amenities to coordinating boardroom catering, ensuring convenience, consistency, and excellence in every interaction. Aramark’s mission is deeply rooted in service and driven by purpose — striving to make a positive impact for employees, partners, communities, and the planet through responsible and inclusive business practices. The company fosters a diverse and inclusive work environment where every employee has equal opportunity to develop skills, advance their careers, and contribute meaningfully, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, age, gender identity, disability, or other legally protected status.

This role focuses on a leadership position within the food service operations, responsible for coordinating activities and overseeing the training of food production staff and kitchen workers involved in preparing and cooking food. The objective is to maintain a high-quality, efficient, and profitable food service department that consistently meets established standards. This position requires a strong commitment to sanitation and compliance with applicable food handling regulations to safeguard guest and employee health. As a supervisor, you will enforce nutrition and sanitation guidelines, develop and refine recipes, analyze menu costs, and control the food production process to ensure economic and timely delivery.

The role also involves managing personnel assignments and training programs to foster a safe and productive working environment adhering to OSHA and other regulatory standards. You will play a key role in maintaining systems for safety, training, and adherence to labor regulations while supporting human resource operations such as employee motivation, training, wage and benefit administration, and compliance with workplace policies. Moreover, you will collaborate closely with team members to plan menus, utilize food surpluses effectively, maintain inventory aligned with budget objectives, and uphold ARAMARK’s business conduct policies along with all federal, state, and local regulations.

Aramark values individuals who are proactive, adaptable, and dedicated to continuous improvement. This position is ideal for culinary professionals who bring not only technical cooking skills but also leadership and management expertise to inspire teams and deliver exceptional food service experiences. In this capacity, you will directly influence customer satisfaction by ensuring all food is prepared properly, deliciously, and cost-effectively, adapting services to meet specific needs such as age-appropriate nutrition for patient or resident populations. The company supports ongoing skill development and embraces flexibility in job duties to achieve organizational goals.

Joining Aramark means becoming part of a forward-thinking, inclusive, and purpose-driven company committed to nurturing talent and empowering employees to reach their full potential. Whether you seek new challenges, a welcoming workplace, or career growth, Aramark offers a dynamic environment where your contributions are valued and your professional journey is supported.
