We are seeking a low drama individual. Must speak fluent English as well as have the ability to speak passable kitchen Spanish or Haitian Creole, or the ability to use a translator throughout the day.

The perfect candidate will have a culinary degree or a minimum of 2 years kitchen management experience; however, we are willing to train the right person and encourage anyone interested to apply.
