This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-profile, world-renowned sporting event by preparing delicious food items that meet Patina’s exacting standards for quality and presentation. Selected candidates will take part in a demanding yet rewarding role that requires culinary expertise, attention to detail, and a passion for teamwork.

This temporary position involves working a set schedule over eight days during the PGA event, with two schedule options available.

As a Cook with Patina Restaurant Group, you will prepare food according to precise specifications before and during events, ensuring portion sizes, quality standards, and hygiene protocols are strictly adhered to.

Successful candidates typically have at least six months of experience in a similar back-of-house food service position and possess the ability to read and interpret recipes and prep sheets accurately.

Safety-conscious individuals who are comfortable handling and operating kitchen equipment are highly valued.
