Position Summary
Come help create BoujieMana, a brand-new restaurant located in central San Diego! Sitting amongst apartments and office buildings, we will serve both the public, and provide support to TCW Global by preparing meals (basic catering style) 4 times a week for 125+ employees. BoujieMana has it all—a full bar, VIP room, indoor and outdoor seating, and a training/event center with a capacity of 120 people. There is abundant nighttime and weekend parking, and while space is limited during office hours, there is still plenty of street parking. The price point will be on the higher end with the restaurant’s commitment to utilizing quality ingredients and maintaining a curated menu for all three meals of the day.
We are looking for an experienced, professional Banquet Cook to join the BoujieMana team. Your principal goal will be to prepare high-quality meals that meet the chef’s specifications and presentation expectations. You will be responsible for maintaining and cleaning food preparation areas, stocking food products, ensuring proper storage, cooking of food, setting up and breaking down serving areas, serving TCW staff four times a week, serving catering clients as needed and maintaining sanitation standards. The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication, present themself in a professional well-groomed manner in accordance with health code and excel at multi-tasking. The banquet cook will play an essential role in contributing to our customer satisfaction and catering growth.
Life is tough—we want the team at BoujieMana to give customers a break so they may bask in the joy of a meal, and the gift of friendship. We are looking for an individual who loves what they do and can work well in a team. The owner will be somewhat hands-on but will not be present day-to-day. Instead, the owner is there to support, finance, and encourage the team to create a wonderful experience for our guests.
