## Job description

## THE ROLE

Gap International is seeking an experienced full-time Head Cook to support food preparation for internal meetings and small client events within a 100-person organization. This role focuses on preparing fresh, high-quality meals, supporting internal events, and maintaining an organized, efficient kitchen—not a restaurant or fine-dining environment.

The Head Cook is hands-on in the kitchen—preparing meals, supporting menu planning, and managing day-to-day kitchen operations. The ideal candidate is service-oriented, detail-conscious, and takes pride in delivering consistent, high-quality food in a professional, team-focused environment.

## RESPONSIBILITIES

- Prepare and cook fresh, healthy, and well-presented meals for quarterly all-company meetings and monthly small-group client events
- Support menu planning that is thoughtful, practical, and aligned with the needs of each event
- Execute efficient food preparation, service, and cleanup across buffet and plated-style service
- Maintain a high standard of kitchen cleanliness, organization, and compliance with food safety practices
- Manage inventory, order supplies, and minimize waste while ensuring the kitchen is consistently well stocked
- Coordinate food timing, presentation, and flow to contribute to a seamless event experience
- Support light banquet-style setup and service as needed

## QUALIFICATIONS

- Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts or equivalent four-year culinary education.
- 5-10 years of hands-on culinary experience in a restaurant, professional kitchen, catering, or banquet environment
- Demonstrated experience supporting banquet, catering, or event-based food service
- ServSafe certification (or willingness to obtain) and a consistent track record of adhering to food safety and sanitation standards
- Proven ability to deliver consistent, high-quality food in event-driven environments with varying volumes and timelines
- Strong organizational discipline with the ability to plan ahead, manage competing priorities, and execute reliably under time constraints
- Thoughtful approach to food presentation, portioning, and overall guest experience
- Professional presence and communication style appropriate for a corporate environment and occasional client-facing interaction

## WHAT WE OFFER

- A high-impact role with visibility and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the company’s success.
- Opportunities for professional growth and development in a collaborative environment.
- A dynamic and inclusive culture that values learning, teamwork, and innovation.
