They will be responsible for maintaining a clean, well-stocked kitchen and ensuring food safety through proper product handling and temperature monitoring. The role requires an individual committed to resident satisfaction, capable of training and mentoring team members through RLC's structured culinary programs, and someone who actively engages with feedback to continuously improve the dining experience.
