Job Description

Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center, part of Marriott International's prestigious portfolio, is a renowned establishment located at 2345 McGee St, Kansas City, Missouri. As a prominent player in the hospitality and food and beverage industry, Sheraton represents a blend of tradition and innovation, welcoming guests from around the world since 1937. The hotel prides itself on creating memorable and engaging experiences for guests by combining exceptional service, a dynamic team environment, and an inspiring workplace culture. With a strong focus on diversity and inclusion, Sheraton fosters a collaborative and supportive environment where associates are encouraged to develop their skills and grow their careers in a global setting. This particular opportunity is for a full-time, non-management culinary associate position offering an hourly wage of $21.09. This role is onsite at the vibrant location in Kansas City, presenting an excellent chance to join a team committed to culinary excellence and guest satisfaction.

The role of Culinary Associate at Sheraton Kansas City Hotel is much more than preparing food - it is about being part of a passionate team dedicated to crafting high-quality dining experiences. The position combines hands-on kitchen work with the benefit of an online culinary education platform through Rouxbe, designed to elevate associates' skills regardless of experience level. This program provides access to hundreds of visually engaging and practical lessons that can be immediately applied in the workplace, fostering continuous learning and professional development. As a Culinary Associate, you will be responsible for preparing fresh ingredients according to recipe specifications, cooking menu items to high standards, and ensuring each dish meets quality and safety protocols. Attention to detail and teamwork are critical, as you will collaborate with a team of culinary experts working on seasonal menus and unique presentations.

Beyond the technical skills, the role demands a positive attitude, a strong sense of hygiene and cleanliness, safe kitchen equipment handling, and the capacity to lift up to 25 pounds and sustain physical activity throughout long shifts. Sheraton supports its associates with a variety of benefits including hotel discounts, food and beverage savings, wellness programs, and recognition initiatives to maintain a motivated and energetic workforce. With access to career growth opportunities, supportive management, and a culture that values diversity and creativity, this position offers a fulfilling career path in the culinary arts within an internationally respected hospitality brand. If you have a passion for food, a dedication to quality, and a desire to be part of a world-class team, Sheraton Kansas City invites you to embark on a rewarding culinary journey that will expand your skills and enrich your career.
