Job Description

Chef – Steakhouse + Event Center | Grandote Peaks

Short or long-term opportunity—this role can be seasonal if it fits what you’re looking for.

Want to step away from the chaos of big-city kitchens and build something great in a more relaxed, scenic environment—while still having the opportunity to hustle when it counts?

Grandote Peaks is a golf course destination with big views, open space, and a growing food & beverage program, located in La Veta, Colorado at 7,000 feet elevation. We’re looking for an experienced Chef to lead our steakhouse kitchen and event operations, delivering high-quality, consistent cuisine.

This is a working chef role . You will be actively leading from the front—supervising, cooking, creating, and involved in daily service—while training your team to meet your standards of execution, cleanliness, and consistency.

There are executive responsibilities, but our focus is simple: deliver excellent food to our guests.

Compensation and title are flexible based on your experience, track record, and what you’re looking for next. Housing is provided and considered part of your total compensation.

We typically serve 30–80 covers daily, along with larger events such as tournaments, barbecues, weddings, and receptions (up to 200 guests, often buffet-style). Lunch service begins at 11am, and dinner service ends by 8pm. Guests can order Linz Heritage prime, dry-aged steaks throughout the day. Our yeast rolls are made in-house; desserts are evolving as we continue to build the program.

We require a stage (trial), and transportation will be provided.

This is a disciplined, professional kitchen environment—we’re looking for individuals who show up prepared, focused, and consistent every day. We maintain a drug-free workplace and expect all team members to uphold these standards. Our staff are positive, optimistic team members - no egos, no negativity, just professionals who take pride in their work and are happy to serve the needs of the customers.
