Napa Rose specializes in offering guests a sophisticated culinary journey that emphasizes exceptional ingredients and imaginative cuisine, creating unforgettable dining moments in a beautifully reimagined space. The restaurant prides itself on redefining fine dining in California with its bold new menu following a stunning transformation.
Joining the culinary team at Napa Rose means becoming part of a dynamic environment that values innovation, excellence, and artistic expression through food. The culinary roles currently available include Dinner Cook and Specialty Cook, with hourly pay rates of $28.00 and $30.00, respectively. These positions are ideal for professionals who are passionate about fine dining culinary arts and eager to contribute to a team that brings magic to every plate. Employees at Napa Rose enjoy a lively, high-volume work setting that fosters professional growth and development. The resort operates 24/7, 365 days a year, and shift flexibility is required to accommodate day, night, weekend, holiday, and special event schedules.
The Dinner Cook is responsible for preparing, seasoning, and cooking a variety of foods, including stocks, soups, sauces, meats, vegetables, and desserts. This role involves using diverse kitchen equipment and techniques such as baking, roasting, broiling, and steaming, ensuring food is cooked to exact standards. A keen eye for food quality, safety, and presentation is essential. The Specialty Cook position focuses on advanced culinary techniques like braising, baking, roasting (including on a rotating spit), and high-level skillet or sauté work. This role demands proficiency in operating all kitchen equipment and an understanding of production planning based on menus and inventory management. Specialty Cooks maintain exact food preparation standards, uphold food safety and sanitation practices in line with HACCP procedures, and exhibit advanced culinary skills. Collaboration between Dinner Cooks, Order/Grill Cooks, and guest interaction regarding menu items is also part of the Specialty Cook’s responsibilities.
Candidates must be at least 18 years old and have a passion for culinary arts and delighting guests with high-quality food. A minimum of two years of experience in a culinary setting with high-volume production is required unless the candidate holds a culinary education degree or equivalent experience with less time in the field.

Preferred education includes vocational school training, high school certification, or a culinary education degree or certification from a recognized institution such as the Culinary Institute of America. Basic wine knowledge is also favored given the fine dining context. Disneyland Resort looks for dedicated individuals who seek to grow their culinary careers in a world-renowned hospitality setting.
