Sugar Bowl Resort is looking for Kitchen Expeditors to control the expo stand and pass — the critical link that keeps our kitchen and dining room moving in sync. You’ll confirm every order is properly executed and garnished before it leaves the kitchen, then get it into guests’ hands quickly and accurately. As the sole point of communication between the front of house and culinary team, you’ll be the calm, clear voice that keeps a busy service running smoothly. We’re currently hiring both full-time and part-time Kitchen Expeditors to join our team.
Why Sugar Bowl?
Sugar Bowl Resort has been proudly independent for over 80 years and is one of the oldest ski resorts in California. Situated atop beautiful Donner Summit, Sugar Bowl has a storied past with ties to Austrian ski culture, Hollywood and Walt Disney. This special community helped bring skiing to “sunny California” since December 1939. Since then, it continues to attract adventurous winter sports enthusiasts alike.
