Key Responsibilities:

Develops regular and specialty menus in line with K12 standards, ensuring adherence to portioning and presentation guidelines.

Handles inventory of food and supplies, optimizing utilization while ensuring vital products are readily available.
Ensures compliance with health and sanitation regulations through meticulous adherence to department procedures and participation in audits.
Actively participates in departmental meetings, staff development initiatives, and professional programs to stay abreast of industry trends.
Performs other duties as assigned to support the efficient functioning of a dining service operation.

Preferred Qualifications:

Associate’s degree highly desired or equivalent experience in culinary arts.
5+ years of progressive culinary/kitchen management experience, with catering experience preferred.
Proven success in high-volume, complex foodservice operations, with a solid base in institutional and batch cooking.
Hands-on chef experience is critical, accompanied by extensive knowledge of food trends, emphasizing quality, production, sanitation, cost control, and presentation.
Proficiency in computer applications, including Microsoft Office suite and email systems.
Willingness to actively engage in client satisfaction programs and activities.
ServSafe certification is highly desirable, highlighting a commitment to food safety.
