Exceptional Hospitality Starts with You

Picture yourself brightening someone’s day. When you join our Hotels team, that’s exactly what you’ll do every time you come to work!

The gorgeous Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort is looking for their next talented Chef De Cuisine. This is an incredible opportunity for a chef to expand their leadership experience and grow within the kitchen!

This role will help oversee culinary operation of The Set, where guests can enjoy the ocean view and cozy up by the fire pits at Santa Barbara’s best sunset-watching spot. The Set serves bistro-style classic dishes and specialty cocktails for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. It will also help oversee culinary operation of The Roundhouse, where guests can start their day at the Roundhouse buffet or choose from a menu of à la carte breakfast favorites.

A Chef de Cuisine is responsible for leading the culinary production of a designated kitchen in the hotel's continuing effort to deliver outstanding guest service and financial profitability.

Inspire and develop the team: Supervise and support team members, monitor performance, provide coaching, and foster a positive and productive work environment
Uphold regulatory standards: Maintain compliance with health, safety, sanitation, and alcohol awareness regulations, ensuring the highest standards of guest and team member wellbeing
