Job Description

Resort Lifestyle Communities (RLC) is a respected and rapidly growing family-owned company operating more than 60 vibrant communities nationwide. Specializing in senior living, RLC is committed to providing a welcoming, resort-style environment that ensures seniors receive the highest quality care and lifestyle support. Each of its communities is designed to feel like home, with a warm, compassionate, and service-oriented culture that prioritizes respect, honesty, kindness, compassion, and service excellence. Founded on these core values, RLC has built its reputation on dedication to residents and employees alike, fostering a supportive environment where every team member can thrive and contribute meaningfully.

As a Weekend Cook at Resort Lifestyle Communities, your role is pivotal in delivering exceptional dining experiences during weekends. Working within a scratch-based kitchen, your responsibilities include preparing and cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner using a variety of cooking techniques such as broiling, grilling, frying, and sautéing. The goal is to create meals that are not only safely cooked but also visually appealing and tailored to the preferences of residents, promoting a satisfying dining experience that complements the overall care environment. Your culinary skills will help maintain the consistency and quality residents expect from RLC's food services throughout the week, ensuring no difference in standards during weekend shifts.

This role is designed for individuals who can work weekends from 6:00am to 2:30pm on both Saturdays and Sundays, bringing energy and enthusiasm to the kitchen. Beyond cooking, you will be integral to fostering a warm and welcoming atmosphere by building positive relationships with residents, guests, and fellow team members. Teamwork is essential as you collaborate in maintaining a clean, safe, and organized kitchen environment by completing opening and closing tasks and fully stocking stations appropriately.

The Weekend Cook is also expected to play an active role in continuous improvement initiatives, contributing ideas during team meetings and remaining open to feedback to enhance service quality. You must ensure adherence to food safety standards by securing required food handler permits within two weeks of employment and by rigorously cleaning work areas, monitoring refrigeration and dish-machine temperatures, and maintaining appropriate food storage practices.

RLC offers its Weekend Cooks a purpose-driven role where you can truly make a difference in the lives of seniors, combined with excellent perks such as pay on demand and employee discounts. This role suits passionate individuals who are at least 18 years old, have some kitchen experience, and desire to be part of a respectful and servant-hearted community dedicated to excellence. Joining RLC means becoming an important part of a mission that values happy employees, happy residents, full occupancy, and efficient operations, supported by leadership in a professional yet family-like atmosphere.
