Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. It is a sophisticated hotel brand known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets. WHO YOU ARE Your past experiences have led you to understand that there is an art + science to the how and what a hospitality operations professional is responsible for. You are committed to the Chef life and go through your day-to-day activities saying, "behind" and "hot" in your own home. Your cookbook collection is dog-eared and worn from use and has outgrown its boundaries on your shelves. Your days off are spent sharpening, obsessing over, or purchasing knives (your friends have become legitimately concerned about this, by the way). You are a mentor to your team and capable of working any station in your kitchen, but are hungry for the next step. You are an intrinsically motivated individual who finds their moment of Zen in a dining room filled with happy guests. You lead your team with a composed disposition and gentle correction, passing along your culinary acumen in the process. You have the utmost respect for the ingredients and the process: you strive to work directly with local farmers and artisans to obtain your ingredients at their height of freshness and peak of flavor. You have tremendous culinary aptitude and are just beginning your journey to understanding the financial side of the business, and are eager to learn more.

The hotel and company are a smoke-free, drug-free facility, and equal opportunity employer. HOW YOU LEAD * Offer direct support for your team through coaching, counseling, gentle correction, and constructive feedback * Collaborate effectively with all hotel departments including Sales, Banquets & Catering, Food & Beverage, and Hotel Operations to provide an exemplary guest experience * Be respectful in your daily interactions with your managers, direct reports, and peers, exemplifying the utmost level of professionalism and being a pillar within your community * Be a subject matter expert in food and culinary techniques as well as understanding the history of the cuisine most closely related to the hotel food and beverage concept(s), effectively guiding others in their personal search with a gentle hand, never admonishing their lack of knowledge * Demonstrates the beginnings of business acumen by ensuring that initiatives align with operational goals and budgets; shows passion to further develop this skill-set WHAT YOU WILL NEED * Five or more years progressive culinary experience required, preferably in a multi-service hotel or restaurant * Passion for culinary arts, experience in a wide range of cuisines * Basic skills in Microsoft Excel and Word to create spreadsheets and proposals * Adaptable interpersonal communication skills to address all employee levels of the hotel * Proficiency of the English language in reading, writing and verbal communication * Ability to calculate basic math principles to meet proper menu ingredients and perform inventory * Ability to work in a fast-paced environment for extended periods of time to meet high volume business * Ability to lift, balance and carry up to 25 lbs. to transport dry goods inventory, equipment, etc. * Ability to lift, balance and carry (with assistance) up to 100 lbs. to transport dry goods inventory, equipment, etc. * Ability to stand or walk for prolonged periods to cook required menu items * Ability to withstand warm to hot environments for prolonged periods while utilizing ovens, stoves, or fryers Benefits: We are pleased to offer a comprehensive array of valuable benefits to protect your health, your family and your way of life.
