Being part of the Disney team means embracing the values that make Disney an iconic brand worldwide, including a commitment to excellence, responsibility, and creativity.
The role of Demi Chef De Rang at Disney Cruise Line is a coveted position within the elegant French-inspired luxury restaurants, Remy and Enchanté. These restaurants offer guests an exquisite culinary journey overseen by Michelin star chefs, emphasizing refined service and attention to detail. As a Demi Chef De Rang, you will be instrumental in delivering an exceptional dining experience to guests by ensuring smooth and attentive service within your station, which typically includes 10-12 guests. Reporting directly to the Maitre d'Hotel, you will be responsible for coordinating food and beverage service, maintaining high sanitation and presentation standards, and supporting the overall operations of the restaurant.
This shipboard position demands a candidate who is not only passionate about fine dining but also motivated to work in a dynamic maritime environment.

Additionally, you will utilize a computerized point-of-sale system to efficiently process beverage orders and work closely with kitchen and bar teams to ensure timely and accurate delivery. Understanding and adhering to food safety and United States Public Health sanitation standards is critical in maintaining the integrity of service.
Candidates should have significant prior experience in the fine dining sector, preferably in Michelin Star restaurants, with a strong knowledge of international wines, cocktail recipes, and alcohol brands. Effective communication skills are necessary to engage confidently with well-traveled and discerning guests. Given the nature of the position on a cruise ship, candidates must demonstrate a readiness to live and work onboard, share accommodations if applicable, and comply with strict safety and ship protocols. Disney Cruise Line also requires a valid passport, appropriate seaman’s visa, pre-employment medical clearance, and a clean criminal background check.
