The Executive Chef will oversee a culinary team of 15 full-time and 30 part-time staff to execute approximately 300 events per year, with a focus on multi-day, multi-meal period VIP hospitality experiences, at times serving thousands of guests per event.

• Health inspection results and compliance

• Menu profitability and contribution margins
