Job Description

Invited is a prestigious leader in the hospitality and service industry, renowned for its dedication to building lasting relationships and enriching the lives of its members, guests, and employees. Established in 1957, Invited has grown to become the largest owner and operator of private clubs in the United States, encompassing over 130 country clubs, city clubs, and athletic clubs. These clubs feature a variety of first-class amenities, including championship golf courses, state-of-the-art racquet facilities, modern workspaces, resort-style pools, fitness centers, and gourmet dining experiences with handcrafted cuisine.

Your ability to maintain cleanliness, sanitation, and inventory control will contribute to the smooth functioning of the kitchen and high levels of service. Collaborating with the Executive Chef, Sous Chef, and other team members, you will help ensure the consistent delivery of exceptional dining experiences to club members and guests.

The Cook 2 position also provides opportunities for leadership, such as supervising junior kitchen staff, managing shifts in the absence of senior cooks, and addressing dietary restrictions and special event meal preparations. This position demands excellent communication skills, professionalism, and a proactive approach to service excellence. Physical stamina and adherence to safety protocols are essential due to the demanding kitchen environment.

Working at Invited means joining a company that values career growth, teamwork, and member satisfaction. The role involves working varied shifts, including weekends and holidays, to meet operational demands. Invited fosters an engaging employee experience with comprehensive benefits and continuous training programs, making it a compelling choice for culinary professionals eager to contribute to a legacy of hospitality excellence.
