Job Description:
My name is Curtis Hillard, the new Executive Chef at Patterson
Kitchen + Bar at the beautiful Hotel Hartness, better known in the
industry as Chef Bear.
We are rebuilding this kitchen with intention.
Patterson has gone through its evolution. Now we are setting the
standard, and I’m looking for motivated culinary professionals who
want to be part of building something lasting.
I am hiring across all levels of the brigade:
* Sous Chef
* Pastry Chef
* Lead Line Cooks
* Line Cooks
* Prep Cooks
* Dishwashers
This is a true brigade kitchen system. We operate under a
structured development model:
Cook 1
Cook 2
Cook 3
Lead Cook
Chef de Tournant
Sous Chef
Advancement is merit-based and performance-driven. Compensation
aligns with demonstrated skill and responsibility. Movement upward is
earned through practical evaluation, knowledge, and consistency — not
simply time served.
We're building depth, discipline, and pride in craft.
Cross-training, accountability, and professional growth are part of
the culture here.
This is not a kitchen where you hang around. Everything here is performance-based.
You do not excel because you show up.
You show up because you are ready to excel.
If you are chasing dollars over experience, this may not be the
place for you.
If you want to sharpen your skills, be mentored, and be part of a
serious team, you will thrive here.
Additionally, our front-of-house management team is also seeking
quality service professionals who want to be part of this reset. If
you or someone you know is interested in serving, bartending, or
hospitality leadership, there are opportunities available there as well.
To apply, please visit the Hotel Hartness website, navigate to the
Careers or Job Opportunities section, and complete the appropriate
application through the official hiring process.
You may also send your résumé or inquiries directly to:
Competitive compensation based on experience.
Come ready to cook.
Come ready to grow.
