Kitchen Staff
Cordia’s Dining Services Department is seeking reliable and hard-working kitchen staff for both full- and part-time positions. Our kitchen operates much like a fine dining restaurant, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and pub menus throughout the day (see today’s menu, here).
Our dinner menu changes almost daily, taking advantage of local and seasonal ingredients when we can, and we make nearly every item on our menus from scratch. Because of this menu rotation, we offer the opportunity for our staff to be creative in putting together new menu dishes. We are very much an experienced kitchen AND a learning kitchen encouraging employees to grow and try new things.
Other reasons to be part of the Cordia team? We are a 365-days-a-year kitchen, meaning there is no “slow season” to budget your income around. And, earlier starting times mean earlier out times, as we are typically finished daily around 9:30 PM.
