Breakfast and Brunch Cook

About the role

Hotel Bardo Savannah is seeking an experienced Breakfast and Brunch Cook to join the culinary team at Saint Bibiana, our signature coastal Italian restaurant.

This is a primarily AM culinary position, working morning through lunch and brunch service. We’re looking for a cook who knows breakfast—not simply someone willing to work mornings. The right candidate understands egg cookery, breakfast proteins, griddle and sauté execution, proper timing, and what it takes to deliver a polished brunch service when the restaurant is moving.

You’ll work primarily in Saint Bibiana while supporting banquets and other Hotel Bardo culinary outlets as business needs require. Experience in high-volume, upscale, luxury hotel, resort, or chef-driven restaurant kitchens is strongly preferred.

What you'll do

• Execute breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu items according to Saint Bibiana recipes, presentation standards, and quality expectations
• Prepare and cook eggs, breakfast proteins, potatoes, vegetables, sauces, garnishes, and other breakfast and brunch components with consistency and precision
• Work sauté, griddle, fry, oven, or other stations as assigned while maintaining proper timing across multiple orders
• Manage the pace and volume of busy breakfast and brunch service without sacrificing food quality or presentation
• Complete daily mise en place and station preparation to ensure the kitchen is fully ready before service
• Maintain strong knowledge of menu items, ingredients, preparation methods, allergens, and modifications
• Communicate effectively with culinary leadership, fellow cooks, servers, and support teams to keep service organized and moving
• Monitor product quality, freshness, temperatures, portioning, and presentation throughout the shift
• Support banquet production, special events, and other Hotel Bardo culinary outlets as needed
• Assist with receiving, storage, rotation, labeling, and proper handling of food products
• Follow all food safety, sanitation, cleanliness, and workplace safety standards
• Maintain a clean, organized, and well-stocked workstation throughout preparation and service
• Minimize waste and use ingredients thoughtfully while maintaining established culinary standards
• Participate in opening, breakdown, cleaning, and shift-transition responsibilities
• Bring a team-first mentality and step in wherever needed to support successful hotel culinary operations

Qualifications

• Previous professional breakfast cooking experience is required
• Strong knowledge of breakfast and brunch preparation, including egg cookery and proper execution of breakfast proteins
• Previous experience as a Breakfast Cook, Brunch Cook, Line Cook, AM Cook, or similar professional kitchen role
• Experience in a high-volume and/or upscale culinary environment strongly preferred
• Hotel, resort, fine dining, or chef-driven restaurant experience is a plus
• Ability to execute multiple tickets simultaneously while maintaining accuracy, timing, and presentation
• Strong knife skills and working knowledge of professional kitchen equipment and cooking techniques
• Ability to follow recipes, specifications, plating standards, and direction from culinary leadership
• Dependable, punctual, organized, and prepared for early-morning shifts
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced kitchen
• Flexible availability, including weekends and holidays, as required by hotel and restaurant operations
• Ability to safely perform the physical requirements of a professional kitchen environment, including standing for extended periods and lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling items associated with the role
