Job Description
Graton Resort and Casino is a premier entertainment destination nestled in the heart of California's renowned wine country, Sonoma County. This luxury resort and casino boast a rich tradition of providing guests with exceptional hospitality experiences, blending world-class gaming, dining, and entertainment under one roof. Recognized for its commitment to quality, Graton Resort and Casino offers a vibrant work environment that embraces innovation while honoring the bounty of the local landscape. The resort includes several full-service restaurants, an in-house commissary, cook/chill system, bakeshop, culinary apprenticeship program, research and development (R&D) test kitchen, banquet operations, and a mixology lab, making it a hub for culinary creativity and excellence.
Currently, Graton Resort and Casino's Food and Beverage Department is expanding, seeking highly motivated culinary professionals who are passionate about redefining hospitality and creating transcendent epicurean experiences. The resort is hiring for the position of Team Dining Room Sous Chef, a critical role that serves as the second-in-command in the kitchen hierarchy. This role provides an exceptional opportunity for culinary experts eager to grow their careers in a dynamic, team-focused environment with a strong emphasis on quality and innovation.
As the Team Dining Room Sous Chef, you will work closely with the Room Chef to ensure smooth kitchen operations while maintaining the highest standards of health, safety, and sanitation. Your responsibilities will include recruiting new team members, responding effectively to guest needs, and collaborating on the development of seasonal menus that reflect the flavors and products of Sonoma County and beyond. This role demands a hands-on culinary expert comfortable with various food preparation techniques, including butchering, baking, sautéing, grilling, and cold food production, suited for a high-volume, three-meal service environment.
Beyond the kitchen, this position requires leadership qualities: managing inventories, maintaining quality control of kitchen products and equipment, overseeing kitchen sanitation, and enforcing company culture and service standards. You will be responsible for training new team members, coaching underperformers, conducting team communication huddles, and handling scheduling to ensure efficient staffing levels. The Sous Chef will also be instrumental in budget planning and cost control to optimize kitchen profitability.
Candidates must be able to work a flexible schedule that includes weekends, holidays, and various shifts. Moreover, applicants must be at least 21 years old and meet specific licensing and certification requirements, including obtaining a gaming license from the Graton Gaming Commission and a California Food Handler Certification.
This position promises not only to challenge your culinary skills and leadership abilities but also offers the chance to be part of a world-class team of chefs and mixologists dedicated to excellence. With competitive benefits and a culture that fosters growth and innovation, Graton Resort and Casino is an excellent place to further your culinary career while contributing to an extraordinary guest experience.
