We're a family-owned wedding and event venue in Sartell looking for someone to take over our kitchen. Not just fill a spot, but truly own it.

What the job actually is:

You'd be our event banquet chef, preparing full meals for weddings every weekend. Our events are usually 150-400 guests, plating, and service execution based on what each couple has selected. This isn't line cooking. It's organized, high-volume, and you're running the show.

After a training period, you'd be managing the kitchen independently. Ordering, prep, execution, all of it.

This is a demanding job. You work every weekend. Your typical schedule is Wednesday through Saturday, with Sundays, Mondays, and sometimes Tuesdays off. There's no sugarcoating it. If you need weekends free, this isn't the right fit.

But if you're someone who thrives on owning your craft and wants a kitchen that's yours to run, keep reading.

• Family-owned business where you're treated like family, not a number
• We take our team on trips. Mexico, Jamaica, dinners out, we actually invest in the people who show up for us
• Real growth potential, bonuses, including possible ownership opportunities down the road
• You would not be grinding through a dinner rush every night. The schedule is structured around events, so you know what's coming and can plan accordingly
• We have great systems already in place so you would not building from scratch

Who we're looking for:

• Experienced cook who's ready to step into a leadership role
• Organized and self-motivated. You don't need someone standing over your shoulder
• Reliable. This is the single most important quality. Our couples are counting on you for the biggest day of their lives
• Hands-on. You're cooking, not just managing
• If this sounds like you, or if you know someone who'd be a great fit, send me a message or apply below.

If cooking and leading are in your blood, we want YOU! We are looking for a dynamic individual who loves working with kids and leading a team! Would you like to work for a company that actually cares about the food they serve? Then Taher, Inc. is the place for you.

• Ensuring USDA regulations are followed
• Ensuring that all meals are correctly prepared and are within acceptable time limits; verifying that all meals meet quality standards
• Managing the ordering, receiving, storing, and inventory control of all perishable products following specific procedures and HACCP standards.
• Completes daily, weekly, and monthly paperwork
• Controlling waste and effectively managing cost and performance to budget
• Maintaining a clean, healthy, and safe kitchen environment; establishing monthly food and labor cost goals; conducting cost control analysis
• Following standardized recipes, writing menus, and monitoring product and menu costs
• Ability to perform in a fast-paced environment
• Helps ensure a safe work environment
• Performs additional duties as assigned by leadership

• Competitive compensation with bonus opportunities
• Work-life balance - Guaranteed hours with no nights or weekends
• Free daily lunch
• Uniforms are provided
• Safety practices and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are provided
• Employee training and development
• Opportunities for advancement and to make an impact
