Founded in 2015, OVG operates a sophisticated platform encompassing venue development, management, hospitality, and sponsorship sales.

OVG is committed to delivering exceptional experiences in the sports, entertainment, and live event sectors, making it a premier destination for professionals seeking opportunities in dynamic and fast-paced environments.
The part-time Line Cook position at Colorado State University, under the auspices of OVG’s Food Services and Hospitality group, presents an exciting opportunity for individuals interested in high-volume food service operations integrated with athletic events. This role specifically supports the vibrant environment of CSU's football season, which runs from early September through late November 2026, including seven home games. Typical shifts are 9-12 hours on game days, and while the primary commitment is to these events, catering opportunities may also be available. The position offers an hourly wage of $21.00 to $25.00, reflecting the skill level required and the high-profile nature of the service environment.
As a Line Cook, you will be responsible for preparing high-quality, fresh food products efficiently and consistently, adhering closely to company recipes and portion requirements.

This role requires close collaboration with the Executive Chef, Sous Chef, or Kitchen Supervisor to plan menus and estimate expected food consumption, ensuring optimal service delivery during games and special events.
With an emphasis on teamwork and excellent attendance, this role offers the chance to develop culinary skills within a notable live entertainment and sports venue context. The successful candidate will handle essential kitchen equipment like broilers, steamers, convection ovens, mixers, meat slicers, and chef knives, contributing to seamless food preparation and presentation. Beyond cooking duties, the position entails active monitoring of food cooking times and temperatures and arranging and garnishing plates for guest service.
Benefits for part-time employees include access to a 401(k) savings plan with matching contributions, along with accrued paid leave calculated at one hour per 30 hours worked, up to 48 hours annually.
