Job Description

Venu Holding Corporation (Venu) is a pioneering hospitality enterprise committed to setting the gold standard for fine dining in Colorado. Venu is renowned for its dedication to crafting extraordinary dining experiences that transcend traditional boundaries, combining hospitality with a deep sense of community and quality. As a leader in the hospitality industry, Venu strategically partners with local Colorado farmers, ranchers, and artisans to bring exceptional ingredients to the table, elevating the classic American steakhouse into something highly personal, connected, and memorable. Their philosophy centers around "Unreasonable Hospitality," meaning every detail matters from the moment guests enter to their final farewell. Each plate served exemplifies unwavering excellence, crafted with intention, passion, and precision. Venu fosters a deeply personal connection with every guest such that they leave feeling seen, heard, and cared for — as if dining at the home of an old friend. This shared belief underscores their mission that extraordinary dining is about more than food; it’s about belonging and community.

Within this dynamic hospitality environment, Venu is preparing to debut Roth's Sea & Steak in the heart of Northern Colorado Springs at North Gate in late fall of 2025. This new, landmark dining destination will feature prime cuts of beef, freshly sourced seafood, and uncompromising sushi alongside an extensive collection of rare spirits, wines, and modern mixology. Situated within the nationally recognized 9,000+ capacity Ford Luxury Amphitheater, Roth's promises an immersive experience across two floors, including the stellar Brohan’s cocktail lounge with breathtaking mountain views and world-class performances. The team at Venu exemplifies a culture that recognizes that hospitality is a dialogue, not a monologue, cultivating a welcoming and respectful environment for guests, vendors, and staff alike.

The Cook position at Venu is perfect for driven, dependable individuals eager to work in a Michelin-level kitchen environment. Whether you are just starting your culinary career or have a couple of years of experience, this role demands focus, consistency, and a strong desire to grow. The cook will support all kitchen stations — rotating between prep, hot line assistance, cold line support, and general back-of-house duties — helping to build a solid technical foundation and service expertise. You will be entrusted with maintaining high standards of cleanliness and food safety, assisting chefs during mise en place and service, organizing inventory, and supporting daily cleaning and sanitation. This position champions culinary discipline, stamina, pride in consistency, and an eagerness to learn under mentorship from expert chefs in a vibrant fine dining setting.

Working at Venu means joining a community focused on excellence, growth, and creating deeply personal dining experiences. The company offers competitive hourly pay, staff meals, uniform provisions, and full-time employment benefits including health insurance, paid time off, and a 401(k) with match. This role is ideal for an organized, positive, and coachable individual looking to develop professional skills in a high-heat, fast-paced kitchen while contributing to an elite culinary brand destined to be a premier dining destination in Colorado.
