Who said a career in culinary meant having to edge in on a trendy New York hot spot? Heard of this hot-shot startup?
There’s a job opening at the hottest startup in Silicon Valley that doesn’t require applicants to know the first thing about computers. The catch: You have to know the difference between béchamel and espagnole.
Facebook, the social-networking Web site with a $15 billion valuation, is hiring a corporate chef. The position looks like a winning lottery ticket for the culinary wiz who gets the job: Google’s corporate chef retired a millionaire shortly after the search engine went public.
The ideal candidate should have “knowledge of food and catering trends with a focus on quality, production, sanitation, food cost controls, and presentation” and, because it’s a startup after all, a “high sense of urgency,” according to the job description.
The Executive Chef is responsible for the leadership of the kitchen by managing and overseeing the activities of the entire kitchen as well as menu development and food quality through purchasing organic products, multi-cultural cuisine, kosher foods, etc. This position is also responsible for recipes including menu item presentation, lunch, corporate, and catering events. He/She is expected to maintain high standards by establishing food specifications and adhering to those specifications via recipes, portion control, presentation, safety and sanitation. This position is full-time and located in Downtown Palo Alto.
