Job Description
Hayden Homes Amphitheater, located in Bend, Oregon, is a premier outdoor live event venue that hosts hundreds of thousands of guests each concert season. Renowned for its exceptional food and beverage operations, the amphitheater is committed to providing a memorable experience to all attendees through high-quality service and delicious offerings. The venue prides itself on an efficient and sustainable food program, with national recognition for waste diversion efforts, making it a leader in environmentally conscious event operations. The amphitheater's food service team is an essential part of the overall experience, operating in a dynamic and fast-paced outdoor setting that adapts to a wide range of weather conditions and high-volume crowds.
The Pizza Line Cook position at Hayden Homes Amphitheater plays a critical role in the success of their newly launched pizza program. This program emphasizes rapid, consistent, and high-quality pizza production to accommodate the demands of live concerts. Working in an outdoor kitchen, Pizza Line Cooks prepare 10-inch personal pizzas, managing the workflow efficiently using specialized equipment such as quad stack, propane-fueled pizza ovens and organized prep stations. The role demands precise attention to food quality, safety, and timing to meet the high standards required during peak service times.
This role offers an hourly wage starting at $18 with the added benefit of participating in a shared food and beverage tip pool, where previous seasons have seen average tips of approximately $18.60 per hour. The position is seasonal, running from mid-May to early October, with shifts varying in length from 4 to 8 hours depending on event schedules. Beyond technical cooking skills, the role requires a positive and adaptable attitude, teamwork orientation, and the ability to maintain high energy and focus despite fluctuating volume and sometimes challenging outdoor conditions. Employees must be comfortable working in variable temperatures and weather and capable of performing physical tasks such as standing for extended periods and lifting heavy items.
The work environment is unique and requires a dedicated team willing to embrace the realities of an outdoor concert venue, which includes exposure to weather extremes, noise, and wildlife. Hayden Homes Amphitheater emphasizes safety, efficiency, and sustainability while fostering a supportive and inclusive team atmosphere. This job is ideal for those who enjoy high-volume food preparation, thrive under pressure, and want to be part of an exciting live event environment without the expectation of attending performances. It is a chance to contribute to a nationally recognized venue where excellent food service is a vital component of the concert experience. The employer is an Equal Opportunity Employer, welcoming applicants from diverse backgrounds and ensuring compliance with federal employment laws.
