Job Opening
The Bees Knees Café is growing, and is currently seeking a motivated and diligent sous chef on a part time basis for a unique employment opportunity. Flexibility- especially on weekends, attention to detail, and experience in food service is essential. Ideal candidates are eager to expand their horizons through the lens of local seasonal food. This is not a standard food service job in the sense that you will be working with foraged and locally grown raw ingredients, and need to understand the benefits and pitfalls of working with these. Applicants should submit a resume with cover letter via email to [email protected].
